I'm in Atlanta (with Bob Cain, DO) attending the Macy Foundation conference on Reforming Graduate Medical Education to Meet the Needs of the Public. This meeting follows a Macy sponsored conference in October entitled: Recommendations for an Accountable Graduate Medical Education System.
For those or you who are students of GME history and GME reform, you will know that the Macy Foundation has sponsored conferences on Medical Education many times in the past. These can be found on their web site. If you are interested in further historical perspective, consider reading the works of Kenneth Ludmerer, MD, one of the conference participants.
There are many significant issues facing GME and specifically OGME. It is critical, now more than ever, that we keep our focus on our customers - the public - as we shape OGME policy.
