MR Training Requirements
Dr. Martin provided an overview of her role as the resident
representative to the ACGME Residency Review Committee (RRC) for
diagnostic radiology. The committee agreed to establishing the RRC
resident representative as a liaison to the executive committee.
Dr. Martin then discussed the issue of MR training requirements as it
has been discussed to date by the RRC. The issue did come up at the RRC
meeting in Oct. 2001, but was not a discussion topic placed on the
agenda. Dr. Martin successfully arranged a time slot for the topic at
the next RRC meeting, which takes place 6-8 Oct. 2002.
The committee discussed the survey data collected at the 2001 RPS
meeting regarding MR training. Dr. Martin commented the responses to
some of the questions were too broad. She suggested revising the
questions in order to get a more focused response. She agreed to provide
some suggested questions for an additional survey. Kelly will have the
ACR research department assist in reviewing future survey questions. A
new survey will be distributed at the 2002 RPS meeting and to members of
A3CR2. The intent is to have analyzed data available for the Oct.
meeting of the RRC.
2002 ACR Council Meeting Resolutions
The committee agreed to divide the responsibility of reviewing each of
the 45 resolutions in order to determine which will be of most interest
and importance to the 2002 RPS. Members agreed to provide their comments
to Kelly by 13 Aug. 2002.
2002 RPS Annual Meeting
Kelly provided an update on participants for the meeting. The chapters
have sponsored 63 participants. However, to date only 46 have
registered.
Dr. Vydareny is confirmed as the speaker for the lunch on Sat., 28 Sept.
She will provide an overview of the ACR.
Participants for the lunch on Sun., 29 Sept. have been invited.
Content of 2nd Mailing to 2002 RPS Participants
The committee discussed the content of the 2nd mailing to the 2002 RPS meeting participants. Included will be:
- explanation of the ACR Council meeting and the RPS' involvement
- list and information regarding the resolutions pertinent to the RPS
- RPS executive committee position descriptions and election information
- meeting schedule
- reminder about reimbursement policy
This information will go out via hard copy and electronically the first
week of Sept. 2002.
There was discussion regarding the descriptions of the RPS executive
committee positions. Dr. Wald suggested assigning the planning of the
RPS annual meeting to the committee chair. As the vice-chair
matriculates to become chair, this would assure someone with experience
in the organization would have the responsibility of planning the
meeting. The committee agreed to assigning the committee chair the
responsibility of planning the meeting. This would begin the 2002-2003
RPS executive committee.
Adjournment
Given the late hour, the meeting adjourned. The committee will address
the issues of the 2003 Jan. issue of the ACR Bulletin and the look and
content of the resident section of the ACR Web site at the next meeting.
Next Meeting
The next meeting will be on Sat., 29 Sept. 2002 at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel in Miami, Fla. from 7:30am-8:30am.
Douglas E. Lemley, M.D.
Chair, ACR Resident Physician Section Executive Committee
