Ambulatory Curriculum Mission
Want to have an impact on how learning happens during ambulatory time? Send Dani Zipkin a note or pop in to our meeting TODAY, Monday September 25th at noon in the med res library to be a part of the conversation!!

QI/Sharepoint Modules
Do you have thoughts on making this experience better? We want to hear from you. Dani and Joel are kicking around ideas to integrate the QI experience more effectively into ambulatory time and have the group work together and get feedback on the work. Share your ideas with Dani or Joel!!

Shoutout to Dinushika!!
Dinushika hit the ground running when she came on as ambulatory chief. She has mobilized more faculty engagement for ambulatory templates, taken an active role in the vision of ambulatory education and wellness, been a source of support to many, and is working on elevating the conversation about inequity in medicine. Thank you for your passion and leadership, Dinushika!

Introducing the Ambulatory Care Leadership Track (ACLT)
Attention Interns! Are you thinking of going into a subspecialty or general medicine, where you will have an ambulatory practice? Do you want to learn how to have an impact on health policy and use your voice to improve patient care? Please consider being a part of the ACLT. Founded in 2012, It is an elective track for second and third year internal medicine residents which serves as a foundation for careers as leaders in academic medicine subspecialties, primary care, research, or education. Residents come together during twelve ambulatory weeks per year of ambulatory clinical time and weekly academic seminars, including:

• Advocacy and health policy seminars given by faculty in government relations and health policy throughout the year, with an advocacy trip in the spring to either Washington DC or Raleigh, NC, alternating years. Residents create a platform based on issues they wish to address as a group and meet directly with lawmakers at the state and national level to present their views.
• Seminars in population health and practice management
• Curricula in teaching and opportunities to teach as a senior resident
• Each block also includes General Internal Medicine Journal Club, presented by residents with support from EBM teaching faculty.
• Access to all the clinical opportunities during ambulatory blocks, including: sports medicine, women’s health, ENT, ophthalmology, dermatology, palliative care, integrative medicine, pain medicine, obesity medicine, gen med, as well as all medicine subspecialtie

The ACLT has evolved significantly since its inception, in response to residents’ feedback. This is a wonderful opportunity to realize your personal impact on the worlds of clinical medicine, education, leadership, and health policy.

We will ask for a one page application closer to to December, stay tuned! If you have questions, please email Dr. Zipkin
