Organization of Resident Representatives

The mission of the AAMC's Organization of Resident Representatives (ORR) is to improve resident physician education and training for the purpose of improving the quality of health care. The ORR will improve residency education through programming and professional development, and support AAMC initiatives and goals by providing the resident voice in the AAMC.

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.
