Date: Friday, February 13, 2009
On behalf of the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM), thank
you for agreeing to serve on the AAIM Program Planning Task Force.
The committee will hold its first conference call Friday, February 20, 2009,

except Dr. Aboff, Dr. Mason, Dr. Moseley, and Dr. Thomas is available to
join me and AAIM Meetings Coordinator Kyle J. Hayden for this conference
call. If your ability to participate has changed, please contact me at your
earliest convenience.
To avoid clogging your email servers with large attachments, I have posted
the agenda and background material as a single PDF online at
http://www.im.org/ Meetings/Pages/AAIMPPTF.aspx. During the call, the
task force should review the schedule for Academic Internal Medicine Week
2009, discuss the planning timeline, and consider possible topics and
speakers for the two joint plenary sessions.

Memorandum

From:
Re:
APM Program Planning Committee
APM Research Committee
APM Research Committee Proposal for Joint Plenary
Session for Academic Internal Medicine Week 2009
Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2009
On behalf of the Association of Professors of Medicine (APM) Research
Committee, thank you for the opportunity to propose a plenary session on
mentoring for Academic Internal Medicine Week 2009 in Philadelphia,
PA.
The APM Research Committee is interested in developing a series of
plenary sessions focused on mentoring issues that could be presented
during successive membership meetings. The series will begin during the
2009 Winter Meeting in San Francisco, CA, with a plenary session on
problems of and effective approaches to mentoring physician-scientists.
For Academic Internal Medicine Week 2009, the committee proposes a
joint plenary session on mentoring physician-scientists throughout key
career transition points of interest to APM, the Association of Program
Directors in Internal Medicine, Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine,
Association of Specialty Professors, and Administrators of Internal
Medicine members:
Medical school to residency.
Residency to fellowship.
Fellowship to junior faculty.
Junior faculty to senior faculty.
Topics session speakers could focus on include:
Data on career choices and the drop off rates.
Financial considerations.
Mentorship opportunities.
Institutional resources.
Programs at specific schools that have been successful.
It is the committee’s intention is to produce an APM publication at the
conclusion of these sessions that focuses on mentoring best practices.
Again, thanks. If you have questions about this memorandum, the
proposal, or the committee, please contact APM Policy Associate Jessica
L. O’Hara at (202) 861-9351 or johara@im.org.

From Academic Internal Medicine Week 2008 Evaluation Summary
What topics would you like to see addressed at future AAIM meetings?
Faculty development and shared best practices.
Remediation, curriculum development
Funding of GME
A list of research and resource opportunities would be great
Development of a required core curriculum universal to all programs; with allowance for individual programs to
then further enhance the core, but this not being required.
Healthcare reform
More administrator useful topics; management techniques; residency databases; getting your residents motivated
Increasing interest in Internal Medicine
Working successfully with Centers–both those that are officially designated and funded as such...and those that
may just be internal to an institution. How to organize a Department of Medicine. There are as many
approaches–centralized vs. decentralized, and various combinations of both–as there are DOM’s in the country.
Perhaps a panel discussion would be a good format to explore the differences, strengths/weaknesses of different
approaches. Communication Strategies Every academic institution I have worked at has struggled to get better
at communicating so each and every faculty member “heard” the message...and we would still miss a good
portion of the faculty, regardless of the forum. Or the message got misinterpreted. This is so key to what we do,
but no one can do it very well.
EMR and medical student teaching and documentation Teaching ethics and humanities in the clerkship
Further updates on workforce trends for Medicine. More programs on training the different generations.
What is the medical education research agenda? What are the real questions we need to be addressing?
Longitudinal clerkship education and evaluation: benefits, pitfalls, is it really what’s next or just what’s in vogue?
Medical school class size expansion: benefits vs. risks.
More about individually tailoring training
Procedure credentialing with regards to credentialing the knowledge and not the actual procedure.
How institutions are dealing with decreased research funding? What do you do to keep research programs
operating with decreased funding?
Residency program administrators /coordinators should share the agenda with the associate/program directors and
faculty. There is little that residency coordinators share with the medicine administrators
More CDIM specific stuff/options
Further sessions re: teaching and global health training
Portfolio workshops again legal issues
Duty Hours Faculty Development (real educational faculty development) Leveraging support for PRs
Reevaluation of internal medicine as a specialty
More research support information i.e. grants
Compliance issues with MR documentation
Meeting RRC requirements Competency education w/specific examples of how it is done
It might be helpful to survey DA’s in March to ask what topics they would like, then rank the topics and ask
everyone to submit presentations that address those issues (e.g. infusion agreements, or hospitalist subsidy, etc.)
Hospital practice relationships–a panel discussion outlining changes in specific systems in recent years
Extended session on different types of MD Compensation Plans, current issues involving Comp Plans, formulas
used E.V.U. Calculations, etc...
Declining Bottom line and how to make the numbers work. I think Cancer Center Models–the discussions in the
Admin group were very focused on Infusion etc. Creating partnerships with SoM and or MC
How to encourage care of the Body and the Mind of the trainees?
For some workshops, suggest a return to some of the previous topics–“Problem Residents”, “Resident Retreats”,
etc. I realize these operational sessions may seem mundane, but they bear repeating. All these competency based
curricular topics get a bit dry.
Strategies for advancing AAIM’s advocacy initiatives.
Good meeting with a broad range of topics

After attending numerous APDIM meetings, it appears that some of the sessions and workshops are redundant.
For new program directors, perhaps there should be a mentor program so they can voluntarily be paired with a
veteran PD for not just program directoring advice, but also career advising and counseling.
Alternate views of the future of IM
The ACGME lays at minimum requirements for each competency. Is there a program that utilizes an approach to
grade competencies, particularly Systems and PBL&I?
Simulation
Workforce, new or innovative tools for assessment and evaluation
More on portfolios and on specifics of evaluation items and techniques based on the core competencies
Creating the effective administrative program team. What does it take?
More on faculty development; organizational skills, perhaps?
Large group session on how to become involved in APDIM and what the process of selection for various
committees involves.
“How to do more with less,” Declining Budgets
Clinical Trials Administration
Economic models of supporting education faculty development–how to, who pays, what works
Additional summary of EIP program innovations would be helpful especially those which can be spread to other
programs
As Dr. Wachter said, there is a lot of room for improvement in the business we conduct. I would like to see more
presentations on improvement/patient safety initiatives. ACGME is making it a requirement for training, and I
think AAIM is a great forum to share ideas and results. Further, it’s simply inspiring to see what others are
accomplishing above and beyond delivering the basics. In the AIM plenaries, we spent time on executive
coaching and un-professional physicians. Perhaps presentations or workshops on developing non-executive staff
within the organization could be addressed.
More on various practice plans, clinic efficiencies
We need more discussion on workforce issues and relate those issues to program requirements. It seems clear that
we need more general internists in primary care, though the life of a general internist compared to a specialist
after completion of training is not nearly as attractive from either an intellectual or administrative point of view let
alone the remuneration issues. We not only need to change our training to meet the needs of patients, but also
need to work to change the life of the internist after training to get residents and students interested once again.
1. Efficient and effective ways of using performance data in the continuity clinic to adhere to guidelines. (Eric
Wram at Univ of Cincinnati?) 2. Strategies for faculty development in a busy community-based teaching
program
Highlights for the past year and prognostications for the next year in Research, Academia and Clinical Affairs for
Administrators.
Pre-clerkship clinical medicine group workshops (medical interviewing, physical diagnosis, clinical reasoning)
Healthcare for residents, pregnancy in residency, counseling residents for or against careers in general medicine,
bringing physical exam skills back to residency

Why does the NRMP wait for 3 or 4 weeks to give us match results when we could use that time to get visas for
our residents?? Why don’t we recommend cutting in half the salaries of anesthesiologists, radiologists,

I would like to see more breakout sessions that include financial research administration for those of us that do not
deal with clinical administration. I would be interested in classes for those that have an interest in clinical admin

work with them to improve our division/department.

Clinical administration–nothing focused on that this time at all, i.e. issues related to the revenue cycle, how to
