Committee Reports ---

 

Outreach Joint - Shannon reported that the committee had held a session focusing on the Service Learning component as a follow-up to the February meeting.  The committee plans to develop the following:

·An On-Line Module for students around Service Learning.  This will include objectives for the students to look at and work on.

·An On-Line Module for Faculty around SL.  CME's will be available for completion.

·Further develop specific projects on-line using the Institute of Medicine model.

 

Chuck suggested that the Student Orientation needs to be updated before we need to use it again.  He will chair the committee and Penny volunteered to help him along with Derrick.  Kathryn reported that NWRHEC is currently updating their orientation packet.  She will make a copy available to the committee (and other SC's) for review.

 

The dental evaluation was discussed briefly.  It was suggested that sites could use this evaluation as a tool to report any outstanding work done by a student (or any problems).

 

Finance - Malinda reported that the 3rd Quarter reports were approved from all the consortia.  FY 2006 Budget submissions were also approved.

 

She also reported that the fund balance had been discussed and the five priority items will be discussed for use of the monies.  The $220,000 projected "fund balance" from FY 05 is frozen and can not be spent (after June 30, 2005).  She reported that Hilda had recommended that any funds available to consortia boards could be spent on CARDIAC.  CARDIAC may strain some budgets and the use of funds for screenings is a benefit to the program as a whole. 

 

She reported that the Committee has asked for a report on the spending of the Graduate Medical Education dollars which is the 2% of each consortia's budget retained by the WV Higher Education Policy Commission.  More on this later.

 

IT Committee request was discussed informally.  Since there was no formal request and too little money available the Up-To-Date subscriptions will not be purchased.

 

 

Malinda reminded everyone that Margaret said the Grant Award Agreement signature pages for each site will be corrected and emailed immediately.  Please replace this sheet in the Award documents received today.

 

Faculty Development - April reported that the committee is working on the conference agenda.  The Save the Date cards have been mailed for the September 23-25 event at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Charleston.

 

She reported that the on-line manual is being revised and some planning has gone into scheduling an IDE training for OSCD.  More details later. 

 

Office of Rural Health:  April reminded SC's of their 3 objectives that they were to develop with the AHEC directors.  Those will be reviewed in 90 days.  These objectives were to target or enhance the AHEC/RHEP relationships.

 

April discussed the possibility of holding joint RHEP/AHEC meetings monthly.  It was decided (on a fist or five) that separate meetings need to be maintained with the Quarterly joint meeting being held. 

 

April reminded everyone of the 3 by 3 meetings.  3 community members should visit each state legislator 3 times by the end of November.   Hilda would like to have a report when legislators have been visited.  Phone calls, person visits and letters would all be considered "visits".

 

April then discussed the Benedum funding for the year-long assessment.  This is a project that Benedum has offered to fund to look at the effectiveness of RHEP as well as evaluate the whole program and the recruitment efforts statewide.

 

April will begin to update the RHEP brochure after July 1. 

 

Carla reported that the Seminar Evaluations will be emailed to everyone.  Elizabeth and April have volunteered for the next planning committee.

  1. SWAHEC - Carla reported that the SC's had met w/ Debbie Curry and a second meeting is scheduled. 

 

  1. Central AHEC - Chuck and Shannon will be participating with Directors on their monthly calls.  The first meeting of the board is scheduled.  Shannon is not leaving until the first of September so she continues to be involved.
