Minutes
August 2004
Members present: Drs. Sachin Shah, Ann Canales, Sherry Luedtke, Bonnie Dugie, Venita Bowie, Emily Lefler, Leland Wehde, and Joel Epps.
We were not able to connect Dr. Krystal Edwards to the conference call due to our limited ability to connect more than three people on a telephone conference call. We will investigate our alternatives to alleviate this problem prior to our next committee meeting.
Committee Members not present at meeting were Dr. Judy Newsom.
Dr. Sachin Shah, Committee Chair welcomed committee members to the meeting and advised that we had set the CE Committee's standing monthly meeting for the 3rd Thursday of the month from 1:00-2:00 pm and will be held in the Dean's Conference Room for the Amarillo people. Dr. Shah advised that he will e-mail a meeting reminder together with the proposed agenda a few days before each committee meeting.
The first item discussed is the performance evaluation of the committee members. The Dean requires an annual report from each committee chair. He also requires a review of committee member involvement. The Dean has asked Faculty Affairs Committee to develop a format to evaluate individual committee member performance and involvement. The non-Texas Tech committee members are not to be evaluated.
Dr. Shah reviewed the CE Committee by Laws, duties, responsibilities and the Dean's Charge to the Committee.
Joel Epps presented a report on the status of the proposed Continuing Education Survey. There was much discuss regarding the joint participation of these organization in a survey. Committee would like to get TSHP, TPS and WTPA to join with TTUHSC SOP in the development and the authorship of the survey.
Mr. Wehde will discuss the matter with WTPA and TPA, and Dr. Bonnie Dugie will discuss it with TSHP. Dr. Luedtke suggested that we create a draft of our proposed survey so that they have something to present and then we can work from there with the other organization's suggestions.
Dr. Luedtke presented a brochure from Pharmacist Care out of Minneapolis which focuses on preceptors and preceptor training as a proposed topic for future CE programs. This is a workshop format with half day program and we should consider doing it as a student/preceptor workshop. Their program is currently being funded by Merck and they are very interested in expanding this program and currently the cost is approximately $500.00 including travel and honorarium. Dr. Luedtke will gather additional information and present it at the next committee meeting.
The ACPE re-accreditation is due to be turned in by September 7 and will be completed by next meeting and asked that this agenda item be discussed out of turn. Joel will send the overall report to the committee members for their review prior to be submitted to ACPE
Dr. Luedtke reported that she is working on putting a program together to be held at the TSHP meeting in Austin in April, together with an alumni dinner. She further advised that the site for the program has not been determined but she has secured a commitment from Astra Zeneca to fund the program and will discuss this in further detail at the next meeting
Remainder of agenda items will be carried over to next meeting to be held on September 16. The meeting was adjourned.
