AMA to develop Observership Programs for IMGs |
|
AMA 
stands for the American Medical Association
The American Medical Association House of Delegates (AMA-HOD) meets each year around June to discuss new policies and proposals. Year 2007 saw a proposal introduced by the International Medical Graduates sections on the AMA about designing a formal observership program. While the proposal listed as Resolution 308 was surely not rejected, it has been referred for consideration pending resolving legal issues by individual states
- see the proposal request [Doc]
- See the Meeting outcome minutes [PDF]
Currently not many program directors are aware that a thing like 'observership' can even be done, while others are too scared of the legal implications - hence a formal model plan that comes from AMA will be most beneficial opening up many opportunities.
Hmmm...Around 10,836$ had been requested to find out about "collect information on observership programs, develop a model program, and disseminate information about the model program" - They could have just given that to me, you know - and I could have simply allowed them to call this blog an official part of AMA ;-) Lol
