This session will focus on the interests and needs of AIAMC educators, including Program Directors, DIOs and Administrators.  The intent of the program is to exchange good ideas and receive advice on educational dilemmas you may be facing.  All attendees are welcome to make a brief presentation and the forum will be driven by the shared issues identified.  This workshop will be highly interactive and offers an excellent opportunity to begin networking with AIAMC colleagues before the Annual Meeting’s official kick-off mid-day.  Please note that seating is limited and pre-registration is required.

Back by popular demand is the 3rd Annual AIAMC Book Club!  This year’s selected readings are:

1.      Rafael Campo article and poems:  https://harvardmagazine.com/2019/05/poetry-medicine-doctor

2.      Carver poem:  https://www.poeticous.com/raymond-carver/what-the-doctor-said

We are taking the hypothesis that literature has something to teach us about the humanity of medicine, a much- needed tonic for our times.  The format of this session will be thought provoking and provide an interactive method designed to increase awareness of humanity in medicine.  Please note that seating is limited and pre-registration is required.

Attendance is limited to first-time attendees and invited guests.  If you register for this luncheon, please make your travel plans accordingly.
