II. Continued Business
A. AAMC Meeting Update
Ms. Pierce‐Boggs reported that AAMC leadership had reversed its decision to sponsor a medical education meeting in the spring. Rather, the medical education sessions will be held immediately prior to the AAMC Annual Meeting in the fall. A brief discussion followed, and all committee members were pleased to learn of this change. In other AAMC news, Kimberly reported that Director Kevin Hinchey, MD, had been asked to serve on an advisory panel. Further, Kevin and she will present an overview of the AIAMC National Initiatives at an AAMC meeting in mid‐April. Finally, Dr. Jaeger reported that future collaboration with the GEA (Group on Educational Affairs) should be considered and noted Lisa Howley’s involvement with this group. It was agreed that Dr. Howley of Carolinas Healthcare may be someone to target for future Board service.
Report accepted.
B. Recruitment Report
Dr. Amedee presented the recruitment report and noted that four new members joined the AIAMC this year. We are still targeting 11 hospitals, including the recent addition of five institutions from Trinity/Catholic Health East. Kimberly worked with Peter Coggan to secure the direct points of contact at these five hospitals. We hope that three to five of these hospitals will join us in early 2014. Kimberly will reach out to all 11 targets and invite them to attend the 2014 Annual Meeting as our guest, i.e., we will waive the registration fees. It was suggested and agreed that Board designee for each

target be copied on this correspondence so that he may follow up with a personal note encouraging attendance at the meeting. Dr. Jaeger requested that his name to added as a second Board designee for Easton Hospital. Finally, Dr. Levine noted that Atlantic Health recently joined a regional group of AMCs and offered to send the member listing to Kimberly for her follow‐up, i.e., potential identification of additional targets.
Send member list as described to Kimberly.

C. 2014 Dues Received to Date
Dr. Jaeger reported that 71 members have paid their 2014 dues, while 11 have not yet paid. Dues notices were sent out earlier this year (early September rather than early October), and Ms. Pierce‐Boggs has followed up with all institutions who have not yet paid. As part of this early outreach, we have determined that four hospitals will not renew their membership. Three indicated financial constraints, while the 4th (Western MI School of Medicine) had been anticipated due to their status change from an IAMC to a university system. Kimberly noted that she anticipated losing the Grand Rapids institutions (Spectrum, St. Mary’s and Grand Rapids Medical Education Partners) due to Peter Coggan’s departure from that system earlier this year.
Report accepted. Continue to keep BOD apprised of progress.

III. New Business
A. CMSS Position on Financing GME
Dr. Amedee reported on the CMSS’s position paper as recently shared at the NRMP Board meeting by Dr. Norm Kahn, CEO. The paper cites concerns regarding the Affordable Care Act and physician shortages and calls for GME expansion, to include funding and caps. Dr. Kahn has requested endorsement from national groups. Discussion followed, and while committee members agreed with the premise of the paper, they cautioned against any formal endorsement by the AIAMC. Rather, it was suggested and agreed that we educate our members on this issue via a newsletter article and encourage members to share the article with their respective government liaisons. Kimberly will include this in the January/February issue of Alliance Update, and Dr. Amedee will provide a copy of the newsletter to Dr. Kahn.
Include article in next issue of Alliance Update. Forward copy of newsletter to Dr. Kahn.

B. National Initiative V
Ms. Pierce‐Boggs reported that Drs. Carl Patow and Kevin Weiss were recently our guest speakers for a webinar on CLER with the IHI‐AIAMC Improvement Scholars. Carl and Don Goldmann, IHI, stayed on the line following the webinar and talked about the current unmet needs

in addressing health disparities. Carl had noted in his presentation that –of all six focus areas – health disparities/quality improvement continues to be a particularly challenging issue for AMCs. Dr. Goldmann suggested that the AIAMC tackle this issue, as he stated we are uniquely poised to do so due to our experience in the National Initiatives. Dr. Patow has written a brief proposal, and Dr. Goldmann would like to present this to his contacts at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Both Drs. Patow and Goldmann are quite excited about the potential of health disparities being our focus for NI V; however, Kimberly has advised them that full BOD approval and engagement would first be necessitated. Discussion followed, with feedback somewhat mixed. While some noted the timeliness and anticipated growing need in health disparities, others were less enthusiastic about this topic. Teaching value‐added care was suggested as the focus for NI V, and committee members were receptive to this topic. It was questioned if the two areas could be blended and/or if both could be offered. Committee members concluded that talking about NI V this early was both wise and exciting, and it was suggested that we continue this conversation at our on‐site Board meeting in March.
IV. Announcements
