OLD PROBLEMS, NEW SOLUTIONS: MANAGING DEMANDS ON FACULTY (AND CHIEFS)
"Life events (predictable and otherwise): Staffing a Section of General Internal Medicine"
Speaker: Mark Linzer, MD, President, ACGIM, and Professor and Chief, Section of General Internal Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Principal Investigator, Physician Worklife Study and Physician Worklife Study II
Predictable life events, such as pregnancies, illness, and part time practice prior to retirement, can diminish the available workforce in a section of General Internal Medicine. Managing staffing shortages, both in terms of available FTEs and increases in dissatisfaction and physician stress, can lead to major challenges for General Internal Medicine leaders. Dr. Linzer will present implications and solutions to these problems, expanding upon his recent article. He will also present a short Worklife Survey to target interventions for faculty based upon their assessment of satisfaction, stress and burnout, career development, gender climate, work/family balance, teamwork and fairness.
"Financing Primary Care in Academic Medicine"Speaker: Mary D. Nettleman, MD, MS, Professor and Division Chair, General Internal Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University
Primary care is critical to the survival of all Academic Medical Centers. However, because primary care does not usually cover its costs from direct billing, it may be erroneously perceived as draining resources from the institution. This talk will explore ways to counter this misperception with specific attention to benchmarking and downstream revenue analysis. Methods of obtaining funding will be discussed.
"Hospital Medicine: Where is its home in Academic Medical Centers?"
Mark V. Williams, MD, FACP, Associate Professor of Medicine, Director, Hospital Medicine Unit, Associate Director, Division of General Medicine, Executive Medical Director, EHCA, Emory Healthcare
President, National Association of Inpatient Physicians
Dr. Williams will describe the rapid growth of hospitalists in the U.S., the reasons driving this expansion, and identify the potential role of hospitalists in clinical care, administration, and research. Dr. Williams will also forecast future challenges facing hospitalists and the specialty of Hospital Medicine, and identify the role of the National Association of Inpatient Physicians (NAIP) in promoting hospitalists.

"Leadership that Fosters Health and Balance in the Workplace"
Penny Williamson, Sc.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and independent consultant.
Anthony L. Suchman, MD, MA, FACP, practicing physician and organizational consultant, and Clinical Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry at the University of Rochester.
This two-part workshop will provide current and emerging leaders with an opportunity to explore principles of Relationship-centered Administration - an administrative approach that parallels and supports the partnership-based clinical approach known as Relationship-Centered Care. Working in pairs, small groups and plenary session, participants will engage in an iterative process of practice and reflection to focus attention on four core skills (being personally present, speaking authentically and listening to understand others, valuing difference and diversity, and trusting the process/ letting go of control). Participants will engage in interviews and dialogue to discover core factors that promote personal balance and healthy workplaces. They will then help each other develop individual action plans to be implemented in their home departments. The workshop will provide an introductory exposure to a number of organizational development strategies including storytelling, Appreciative Inquiry, World Café and peer mentoring.
