Final decisions remain probably one year away.
Dr. Barry Markovitz again reminded the group about the Fellowship Directors database and website. He also reminded everyone about participating in the Website Journal Club by sending articles and completing the survey about how often the journal club website is used. He presented the results of his survey which clearly indicates interest among fellowship directors in developing a common curriculum for research. Dr. Wetzel will continue with a curriculum develpment by gathering current documents from fellowship directors and compiling a summary document. Discussion took place about how to recognize the distressed fellow who is on the edge and to help and guide the fellow to obtain help.
