From APDIM: Subspecialty survival
I have just returned from a week in Dallas, TX attending our medicine conference, and I’m experiencing the buzz that results from the wonderful information sharing that always happens at these events. (Never mind that this is followed by the crashing paralysis that happens NEXT week when I realize my newly revised “TO DO” list is 85 pages long!)
My fellowship administrator and I presented a workshop on “Subspecialty Survival” during which we shared some of the organizational tips we use to keep track of the numerous years’ worth of requirements that occur in subspecialty training. We also did a lot of “comparing” with other attendees about how they run their subspecialty programs.
It appears as if the exercise we endured this year, consolidating the coordination of our programs, which I wrote about in an earlier post, is indeed the wave of the future. Inserting a fellowship administrator at either the department or even the GME level is the most logical and manageable way manage the new accountability requirement.
The “hows” of this varied significantly, and because our fellowship administrator is also the blogger for Residency Manager’s Fellowship Forum, I won’t steal her thunder.
This is just to say that if you’re interested keep an eye out for her report on this as well!

I would be interested in more information regarding the consolidation process and the fellowship administrator position. Any information/suggestions you can share would be welcomed.
I was unable to attend the APDIM conference due to a site visit. I was so looking forward to attending your workship. Is your information available online?
