Continuity SIG
April 2010 Newsletter Article

So you're in charge of the resident continuity experience, you've just survived a busy winter of flu and RSV, and when taking stock of your career, you shrug your shoulders and ask "what now?" Well, here comes the Continuity SIG to the rescue with answers!

Start your PAS experience by joining us on Saturday, May 1 from 8-11 AM. Our Task Force has worked hard to organize a great meeting for you. Here are some of the topics we will cover:

• Update on the Continuity Director's manual - we can help you be more effective in your role.
• Continuity Research Network (CORNET) - put some dazzle in your career with research.
• RRC Updates - don-t wait for your program director to tell you what's new.
• Maintenance of Certification - painful, but maybe continuity can make it work for you and your residents.
• Working groups to explore career development - yes, you can do it!
  • Mentoring
  • Educational portfolios
  • Productivity and RVUs
    
    

As always, the Continuity SIG is a great place to network, find a mentor, and get great ideas to take home.

Please remember to share your thoughts, and ask questions on our listserv. I will have a few questions for you in planning our future meetings and possible workshops in the near future. The listserv can be accessed using the following address: APA_CC@listserv1.academicpeds.org.

Finally, please see the full page recognition of the APA's 50th anniversary from your Continuity SIG in the Tribute Book when you attend the PAS meeting. We hoped to capture some of what the Continuity SIG has contributed to our membership over the past 20 years. Read it with pride. The APA has been a wonderful professional home for all of us.

Now don&39;t you feel better? See you in Vancouver!
