1997 SDRME Annual Meeting, Santa Fe, New Mexico |
John Shatzer presented the report of the membership committee (Shatzer, chair; Krackov, Rubeck). A summary of his report is attached. The report lists 10 new members, seven additional individuals who are in the process of being reviewed, and five additional schools from which members could be sought.
Gordon Page noted that there were three new international affiliate members at this year's meeting: he introduced Rosalie Ber, Israel; Jill Gordon, Australia; Clarke Hazlett, Hong Kong.
In Penny Jennett’s absence from the Annual meeting, Michael Brooks presented the newly elected members to the Executive Committee for a three year term beginning July 1997: Sharon Krackov and Jon Veloski.
John Littlefield indicated that he is the incoming SDRME president and that the Executive Committee elected Gwendie Camp president-elect, Sharon Krackov secretary, and Jon Veloski treasurer.
Michael Brooks’ summary report is attached. John Littlefield also discussed the budget for the Annual meeting which showed that all expenses are covered by meeting fees.
Frank Schrimpfhauser and Louise Arnold have prepared a revised version of the Bylaws, with prior input from most EC members. Frank presented the major proposed Bylaw changes to the Business Meeting and asked members to provide feedback on the proposals using the SDRME list-serv. The revised Bylaws will then be mailed to the members for their vote of approval — a 2/3 acceptance is required. A major change is the proposed eligibility of osteopathic schools for SDRME membership.
SDRME Exhibit at the AAMC Annual Meeting
Gwendie Camp reported that the proposal for a SDRME poster exhibit was accepted for presentation at the AAMC 1997 Annual meeting. Gwendie also indicated that we required SDRME members to staff the exhibit. She will pursue this in the Fall via the list-serv.
Denny Hoban described his efforts to prepare a historical review of offices of medical education, building on the previous efforts of Ed Rosinski and others. Denny circulated a table identifying the founding directors and dates of medical education offices world-wide, and asked members to help him fill the blanks.
All members at the meeting presented a brief synopsis of the highlights of their roles and offices.
Brownie Anderson reported that the national curriculum data base will be delivered to all schools at the end of August. The AAMC medical school objectives project involves 15 volunteer schools and is well underway. The SDRME/AAMC workshop for Associate Deans is scheduled for San Diego, February 1-3 1998.
Deb Kuhar reported briefly on the computerization of the Steps 1 and 2 examination and other activities of the NBME. Deb reminded members of the 1998 Ottawa Conference in Philadelphia, and directed members to the NBME Web site which provides detailed information on the conference.
The 1996 membership survey results were circulated to meeting participants in their registration packages. Mark Albanese commented that the next membership survey will be mailed to members in the Spring of 1998. The form to be used will be presented on the SDRME Web site, to elicit members’ review before it is implemented.
SDRME/AAMC Workshop for Associate Deans, San Diego
This workshop will be held for a third time in early 1998 and Emil Petrusa is the SDRME member responsible for it. John Littlefield will speak to Emil and Brownie Anderson about promoting the workshop earlier and about establishing an agreement for the payment of any workshop deficits. There was strong support for this highly successful workshop and for SDRME’s continued involvement in its presentation.
1998 Annual Meeting — "Fostering Research in Medical Education"
The following issues were discussed relative to planning for the meeting:
International affiliate members will likely need an official role in the program to get their institutions to support their attendance.
The sessions should stress interactive formats in contrast to presentation sessions.
Use of the list-serv to seek RFPs for sessions from the members - Gwendie will do this.
Identify some themes for which we can name individuals to provide 15 minute key note stimulus presentations — e.g., PBL, community health (Jon Veloski suggests Mark Boyer), cognitive principles underlying clinical teaching (Cees van der Vleuten was suggested), using the Web for program presentation (Jill Gordon was suggested), community-based teaching...
NBME update on specific issues (e.g., assessment in public health) , ECFMG medical education fellowship program, programs to assess practitioners, ...
Strategy — first ask the members for proposals for themes then, in a second round, ask them for proposals for presenters/specific sessions. Send the first request out early in the Fall and the second request on November 15 following the AAMC Annual meeting.
The 1999 meeting will be in Wisconsin; dates TBA. The year 2000 meeting will be in the Vancouver area; dates TBA — the Whistler Mountain ski area seemed to be preferred.
