Print Document We are beginning to plan for our Annual Region IV meeting, to take place in Charlottesville, VA, January 19-20, 2008. Once again, John Olsson (East Carolina University), Karin Hillenbrand (East Carolina University) and Martha Hellems (University of Virginia) have graciously agreed to organize the event. We expect it to be as well attended, fun and educational as it has been in years past. Watch your in-boxes for more information coming very soon. We would like to congratulate Karin Hillenbrand (East Carolina University) on being awarded the 2007 Region IV Collaborative Research Award. Her project “Measurable Outcomes of Residency Education in Pediatrics” is a unique collaborative initiative tied closely to the mission of the APA. We all look forward to hearing about her progress at the regional meeting in January. Barry’s three-year term as Region IV co-chair will be ending this coming May. Our region will be holding elections for his successor in the fall. We have several highly qualified applicants on the ballot, so please watch your in-box, and contribute to the region by voting for your candidate. Membership in the region continues to grow. To encourage increased participation and membership, please invite colleagues, faculty members, fellows, and residents to consider applying for membership. If you are interested in serving as a recruiter for Region IV at your home institution, let us know. Please keep Barry Solomon informed of any changes in your contact information at bsolomon@jhmi.edu or if you’d like him to send a message out to Region IV members. If you do not have e-mail, please call Barry at (410) 614-8438. We hope to see many of you in Charlottesville in January! Barry Solomon - bsolomon@jhmi.edu |
