		<description><![CDATA[This month's issue of RPA features a lengthy story on how to build a faculty development program from scratch. Of course, you can't write a story on faculty development without talking about what topics to cover and how to actually get faculty members to attend the sessions. Here are a few tips I picked up from my sources.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the April issue of Residency Program alert, I profiled Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) and the institution's use of an OSCE during orientation to gauge new resident's skills. As you can imagine, it takes CAMC quite awhile to do all of these activities with all of their incoming residents and not everyone can be working with the standardized patients at the same time.
