[AAHM_Clio_Project] Recap of 5/10/14 Clio meeting

[Hirshbein, Laura]

Dear Clio Initiative Friends,

As I hope most of you know because you were in Chicago enjoying the wonderful meeting, we had a large and productive Clio Initiative/Clinician Historian breakfast on Saturday morning. In addition to briefly discussing the fabulous white paper by Jeremy, David, Jackie, and John, we also discussed moving forward with concrete projects to help with the broader goal of getting more history into medical education. Thanks to all of you who signed up for projects. If you weren't there, didn't sign up, or were unable to make it to the meeting and want to sign up for something, let me know (or contact the leaders of the project you want) and we'll make sure you're included. If you were there, the project numbers have been changed slightly since then to merge two of the groups that were very similar. Here are the projects:

1. Writing projects. There is lots of opportunity to write papers large and small for venues explaining/supporting/arguing for the need for medical history in medical schools. We discussed a possible piece for Academic Medicine, and there are many other potential target audiences. This group will be led by Jeremy Greene and David Jones.
Volunteers:
John Warner
Joe Gabriel
Barron Lerner
Robert Aronowitz
Richard Kerber
Anne Kveim Lie
Sakena Abedin
Walt Schalick

2. Networking with credentialing bodies. We all agreed that we need to reach out to the people who have the authority to make policy and regulations regarding medical education and argue our case (especially the AAMC). This group will be led by Chris Crenner and Jennifer Gunn.
Volunteers:
Peter Kernahan
(we also wanted to nominate Ken Ludmerer for this group)

3. Expert assistance/advice from archivists and librarians. As many pointed out, our institutions' archivists and librarians have cool stuff that can help get medical students excited about history and can help make the point about why history is important. Micaela Sullivan-Fowler has volunteered to lead this group.
Volunteers:
Sakena Abedin
Walt Schalick
Bill Schneider

4. Cataloging teaching methods/tricks/curricula or pieces of curricula for teaching medical students. We want to gather together pieces that people have used to teach medical students in some kind of website/database/drop box where they can be browsed and accessed. We certainly want to collect syllabi, but medical student teaching also involves smaller pieces (since most of us don't get full courses to teach). We volunteered Mindy Schwartz for this (since she did such an incredible job with the meeting and is such a wonderful and enthusiastic teacher), and Karen Ross has also agreed to help. Jennifer Gunn will provide further assistance, especially around possible different curricular models used at different medical schools.
Volunteers:
Justin Barr
Kristen Ehrenberger
Kate Irving
Lisa Bob
Susan Lawrence
Bill Schneider
Joe Gabriel
Sarah Tracy
Shelley McKellar
Paul Berman
Dale Smith

5. Networking with other organizations (such as the ASBH). Other groups have already made some strides toward medical education integration and it would be good to collaborate/network. Jeremy Greene and Scott Podolsky have agreed to lead this group.
Peter Kernahan
Howard Kushner
Sue Lederer
Justin Barr
Walt Schalick

I sent the contact information for the group members (from the meeting signup sheets) to the group leaders. Thanks to Karen Ross, we also have the minutes from the meeting (attached).

Thank you all!!
Laura
