In a recent letter to congressional leaders, the AAMC notes that medical schools and teaching hospitals have a substantial economic and social impact within the counties and cities they serve. In fact,
one out of every 48 wage earners in the labor force works directly or indirectly for an AAMC-member institution. Given the urgent need to preserve and create jobs in the current economic downturn, the AAMC recommends that economic stimulus legislation, proposed by Congress, include an additional $1.9 billion for the National Institutes of Health, as well as increased support for Veterans Affairs research facilities, Title VII health professions programs, the National Health Service Corps, and the country's emergency preparedness and response programs. In addition, the AAMC is urging Congress to restore Medicare capital indirect medical education payments, preserve long-standing Medicaid funding for health care safety net providers and graduate medical education, and raise the cap on Medicare residency training slots Information: Go to http://www.aamc.org/advocacy/library/laborhhs/corres/2008/102908.pdf ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AAMC examines gender differences in faculty job satisfaction Increased demands on job satisfaction. According to the latest issue of AAMC Analysis in Brief, levels of faculty job satisfaction differ between genders--especially in the areas of culture, collegiality, promotion, and compensation. Women faculty are less likely than their male colleagues to report feeling satisfied with their "fit" (sense of belonging) in their departments. Data also show that women faculty believe the promotion process is less equitable than do their male colleagues. Given the high costs of faculty turnover, medical school administrators and leaders can use evidence-based insights such as these to improve the work environments of all faculty. Information: Go to http://www.aamc.org/data/aib/aibissues/aibvol8_no7.pdf ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2008 annual meeting highlights now available online Nearly 4,000 leaders in medicine and education attended the AAMC's Annual Meeting earlier this month in now available online, including: a video and full text of the AAMC President's Address, "The Tough Questions;" summaries of several plenary and focus sessions with slides; a photo gallery; information on this year's national award recipients; and other news from the meeting. Information: Go to http://www.aamc.org/annualmeeting ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ CMS announces 2009 Medicare outpatient payment system update The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the 2009 Medicare outpatient prospective payment system final rule, which includes a 3.6 percent inflation update in the base payments that hospitals receive for outpatient services. The final rule also expands the current inpatient and outpatient quality reporting programs.

Amenta, M.D., Ph.D., has been appointed dean of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of has been serving as interim dean for two years. Ronald J.
