AMP Annual Meeting
Kevin O’Connor, M.D.
Chair
Mayo

     Our meeting this November 15th promises to have something for everyone. In this time of change and uncertainty, we are all concerned about the future. Defining the place of dual training in the minds of our professions’ leadership; developing excellent and integrated training in traditionally separated specialty areas; defining what it is that we can legitimately do better than singly trained specialists and obtaining appropriate reimbursement for the care we deliver are some of the issues important to us all. We hope that our half-day get together will provide a "safe holding environment" to broach these topics and arrive at optimistic but tempered-with-truth solutions.

     Lee Tynes, director of Medicine-Psychiatry training at Tulane has invited a panel of his colleagues who also direct dual training programs across the country to address training and economic issues relevant to Medical Psychiatry residencies. We expect this will be a lively presentation with ample opportunity for discussion and debate.

     Rick Malis will present the results of a survey on dual training that Caroline Carney and he conducted.

     Dan Winsted, chairman at Tulane will comment on the survey and peer into his crystal ball and provide us with his perspectives on our future.

     Two residents will present clinical cases and senior discussants will provide us with illuminating differential diagnoses.

     Finally Bill Yates, President of the Association will briefly comment on the meeting and on his year as President. A poster session and wine and cheese reception will follow.

SEE YOU THERE !
