about the future of academic health centers. The main points included
the "generational gap" - the differences in usage of technology,

biomedical research at these institutions to ultimately attract
patients by providing the highest quality patient care.

DAY 2 - The programming on day two included a session on the transition
from residency/fellowship to a junior faculty position in an academic
setting. Several speakers discussed their various tenure and non-tenure
tracks while emphasizing the need for adequate and sustainable mentorship
available to new faculty. Other important ideas discussed included
the difficulties in attracting new graduates to pursue careers in
academic medicine, the disparity in income between academics and
private practice as well as between different specialties, and the
debt burden of new medical school graduates.
November 2
DAY 3 - The ORR discussed hot topic issues in residency education
and what needs should be addressed in these areas. Important subjects
identified consisted of the duty hours requirements, balancing resident
education and service, debt repayment, and working with faculty
in busy academic departments. These topics will be discussed further
at the professional development conference March 5 - 7, 2009 in
Charleston, SC.

Another topic involved the expansion of existing medical schools
as well as the development of new medical schools. The University
of Central Florida created a program to give the first graduating
class full-tuition scholarships each year of medical school training,
and emphasized the need for the involvement of local and state government
and businesses in promoting and funding these programs.
The highlight of the third day involved the afternoon plenary lectures
given to the entire AAMC attendees. Robert Desnick, M.D., Ph.D.,
presented an excellent talk on the current state of genomic medicine
as well as the prospective applications of genomics research. The
AAMC president, Darrell Kirch, M.D., gave the presidential
address, focusing on how the AAMC should deal with issues such as
health care quality, conflicts of interest, disparate physician
incomes, training new physicians, and the important balance of research,
teaching, and clinical service. Ted Koppel followed with
a very entertaining and thought-provoking discussion on the upcoming
presidential election, the state of current economic and foreign
policies in the US, and what future challenges lie ahead.

DAY 4 - The last day focused on the reforms of various academic
institutions regarding the role of pharmaceutical and device companies
in physician education and conflicts of interest. It was widely
felt that there needed to be oversight by hospitals and medical
schools to control the amount and types of pharmaceutical funding
for continuing medical education. Many institutions and organizations
are currently adopting policies that meet their individual needs,
and the AAMC is taking an active role in this process.
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.
