Introduction

Reminder for All Officers
- Please type up recollections/notes of all meetings at the ACR meeting and redistribute to the other officers.
- Please cc: Kelly on all e-communication.
January Issue of the ACR Bulletin
Board Timing Change
- Jan issue content: highlight article on timing of boards to be presented in interview format.
- Good way to get the word out to private practitioners.
- Highlight that the focus of the boards is changing (theoretically)
- Other people to interview:
- Vydareny
- Jackson
- A private practice person on board of chancellors
- Ask ABR for a press release or a fact sheet
- Contact APDR and SCARD for opinions
- Questions to answer:
- Rad onc boards changed secondary to changes in length in the residency not b/c of similar issues in rays, T/F
- When did we used to take boards?
- How does this affect fellowship?
Board Timing Issue
Tactics:
- letter to ABR with our position
- article in January (deadline of the story is Nov 15, send notes out by Oct 15)
- residents need to change behavior to drive the issue
- Auntminnie discussion pages- put the letter on here
- identify other resident sections of other groups that may be willing to write a letter to the ABR
- This can be addressed at the crisis of education panel at A3CR2 (Note: Clay expressed an interest in writing something about the crisis in academic education)
Jesse will find out what the A3CR2 stance is and get chair to write a letter similar or issue a similar letter
Young Physician Section
- Doesn't really require immediate action
- Board of Chancellors is planning on addressing this, we'll wait and see
- Membership task force may be an appropriate venue for addressing the problem (Steve Perlmutter to be involved)
- Increasing funding for RPS may help
- Sponsoring residents who are interested in ACR to AFIP at the time of the annual meeting
- Committee positions may be a way for residents to get involved: Ace, Ray, Karla (Dr. Frey will give them a list of open committees), list existence will be communicated to Perlmutter
2003 RPS Annual Meeting
- Short turn around between this years meeting and next years meeting
- What are we going to do at the next meeting? Think about this for January.
- Goal: Send out the resolutions ahead of time
MRI Training
- Survey currently underway
- Data will go to Tracy Martin, summarize ideas of MRI education
- Solutions may be based on this data or obtaining more data may be necessary
- Auntminnie survey may be an effective way to get more data
- Data will be given to a resident on RRC (Tracy Martin)
Resident Section of the ACR Web Site
- New website will be up a running soon
- Send suggestions/recommendations to Chris once you have a look at it.
Adjournment
There being no further business, Dr. Wald adjourned the meeting.
Shannon Campbell, M.D.
