Summer 2008 Newsletter article
We had a great meeting at PAS in Hawaii. About 60 people showed
up bright and early for the SIG meeting.
We discussed the APA
name change and it is more inclusive. Our usual discussion
of education issues veered away from hospitalists as educators
to how to educate hospitalists. Different resources for faculty
development were discussed, highlighting the role of the APA
particularly for those in academic roles, plus the offerings
of the Society of Hospital Medicine. This served as an opportunity
to recruit applicants to the next cohort of the APA’s
Educational Scholars Program which will have ten spots specifically
for hospitalists. The pressing need for faculty development
and mentoring of hospitalists was also a theme at the APA’s
Leadership Conference in Orlando last March. The SIG will continue
to work within the APA to expand opportunities to hospitalists.
An ongoing resource is the Hospitalists track for the PAS meeting
that the SIG coordinates each year. Jeff Sperring has led this
effort, with help, and it provides a meaningful listing of
topics and presentations at the PAS so attendees can be more
focused if they so choose.
The meeting finished with a discussion
of setting a research agenda for Hospital Medicine. As many
of you know, the SIG participates in the Pediatric Research
in Inpatient Settings (PRIS) network, along with SHM and the
new research subcommittee of the AAP SOHM. The APA board provides
support for PRIS in the form of Nui Dhepyasuwan who has been
a tremendous help. Topics of research interest include: outcomes
measures, systems of care, transitions of care, complex care,
and education on the inpatient service (deferring Family Centered
Care to the new FCR SIG). We are hoping to reinvigorate PRIS
to take the lead on this and start tapping the potential of
the PRIS network.
