Other(s) - specific answers:

• Would like to see apples to apples comparisons regarding teaching schedules/responsibilities and compensation packages (survey)
• Research collaboration
• I think "research" is a tough nut to crack through this, and disagreed with this notion at the meeting in Minnesota.
• A sort of top 10 list of what the challenges for this group of hospitals are in terms of importance to better prioritize how APDIM/AAIM can assist them (re: training residents and students...not so much all of their heartaches and hardships...)
• How to engage volunteer subspecialty faculty in curriculum development and faculty development, esp in areas like evaluation and feedback.
• Ideas on integrating hospitalists, private attendings and teaching attendings into daily rounds. How to prioritize amb clinic activities balance with inpt activities
• Sharing of affordable educational resources
• 1) forming collective statement concerning issues pertinent to community hospitals (e.g. changes in USMLE exam) 2) information clearinghouse concerning policies regarding such topics as drug company sponsorship of programs etc. 3) Quick and dirty surveys of best practices etc.
• Recruitment Resources Community Faculty Research
• Pooling  resources such as EKG exams, procedure exams, teaching tools, etc
• Research activities at community hospitals- models of success and pitfalls to avoid
• Discussions of strategies for medical education in community hospitals with limited financial and personnel resources.
• Determine which fellowship programs are open to IMG's by visa type.
• Sharing "best practices" in teaching and evaluation. Development of research opportunities that might allow one or more members to tap into the collective data base.
• A repository for safety and quality practices, and an arena to study the impact of them. Community residency programs have an opportunity to define themselves as a critical component to community hospital safety programs.
• Regional faculty development initiatives, research collaborations for community hospitals, sharing of curricula and competency based assessment tools.
• How we can help each other optimize resident education and research at the community hospital level particularly in view of time demands on faculty that have near full time practices to manage as well as active involvement in the educational process.
• Share resources to improve fellowship placements.
• Ambulatory care development issues and models of education and continuity of care.
• Multi-institution education research.      
• A community hospital-specific list-serve similar to the APDIM list-serve.
• Academic concerns of community teaching hospitals.
• Ways of identifying possible collaborators for research opportunities.
• Volunteer Teaching faculty and issues involved.
• Potential for inter-institutional cooperation on clinical research projects.
• There a whole host of issues many of which are being discussed by the association of chairs and chiefs which is a focal point for community hospitals to bring issues that are unique to them. Some relationship between this group and the chairs and chiefs group would be helpful.
• Issues related to successfully recruiting interns and of successfully placing them in , not only fellowship, but also general medicine positions and hospitalist.
• Fellowship opportunities from community based programs
• Other's experiences with recruiting and the match. Need to depend on IMGs to fill programs. Interest of US M4 grads in community programs. Other community programs experiences with their residents obtaining fellowships at university programs.
• No specific topics... whatever comes up. By "fellowships" (above), I suppose you mean GETTING them upon graduation from a community hospital training program (rather than doing them AT a community hospital)?
• Performing meaningful research in community settings. Developing more robust educational and academic resources in the community.
• Clinical research opportunities in community hospitals that teaching faculty and residents could foster.
• Information on payscales fro full-time and part-time teaching faculty.
• I was not there when the group met in Minn. I suppose I just like the idea of sharing common ideas.
• Challenges of teaching with limited faculty, e.g. genetics, basic science, etc. also help for research, i.e. statistics, etc.
• Research collaboration efforts.
• Increase the voice of community programs in APDIM.
• Potential collaboration on GME projects/studies.
• Shared curriculae and other ACGME requirements where participation would help to ease the burden for small hospitals/residency programs.
