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

Inclusion of more presenters from the VA would be helpful
Health Care reform. Tapping into public health clinics for education. Developing student interest in IM.
EHR for clinics.
Repeat of the legal lecture.
Would like to see more examples of educational innovations even if there is no data. It’s interesting and improves
my ability to be the best CD I can be.
Maternity/paternity leave
Approaches to education research, teaching at the bedside, addressing the need to recruit internists.
Remediation Plans for the Problem Resident, Salvage Pathways for the Resident, Unmatched for Fellowship

Topics involving educational scholarship.
Portfolios are increasingly important; I would repeat these presentations. The more that can be done re
educational research the better.
