Meeting Summary and Presentations
Spring 2008 Professional Development Conference
March 6-9, 2008 - New Orleans
The annual spring meeting of the Organization of Resident Representatives
(ORR) met in New Orleans. Meeting annually in conjunction
with the AAMC's Council of Academic Societies (CAS) allows for resident
physician members to participate with faculty leaders around issues
related to the medical education, research, and clinical service
missions of AAMC's institutional members.
Spring 2008 highlighted the challenges and opportunities facing
academic medicine, medical education and research in the context
of changing organizational arrangements at the broad institutional
level, as well as within the medical education community.
Physician educators local to New Orleans shared lessons and strategies
gleaned from Hurricane Katrina and offered the public health perspective
on partnerships to improve the health of the public. Briefings on
AAMC initiatives and activities related to health care reform, delivery
of care, faculty affairs and AAMC's governance review were offered
through joint programming and in smaller ORR venues.

Compact Between Resident Physicians and Their Teachers
The Compact Between
Resident Physicians and Their Teachers is a declaration of the
fundamental principles of graduate medical education (GME) and the
major commitments of both residents and faculty to the educational
process, to each other and to the patients they serve. The Compact's
purpose is to provide institutional GME sponsors, program directors
and residents with a model statement that will foster more open
communication, clarify expectations and re-energize the commitment
to the primary educational mission of training tomorrow's doctors.
