General Program Evaluation

Comments

1st AOCD meeting. ABD certified needed AOA credits. Really impressed, totally enjoyed the meeting!!!

Case reports and resident presentations are not as useful as expert speakers who speak from experience and evidence-based medicine.

Didn't like the Orlando Convention Center but loved the Loew's resort!

Dr. Nousari's lecture was very hard to understand and follow. I think that we need a lecture on bullous disease, just with a different lecturer

Excellent speakers this meeting. Look forward to more collaboration with allopaths as we all move toward AOA ACGME unification.

Have presenters check spelling on their slides. It looks unprofessional when there are mistakes.

I enjoyed the location and for the most part the meeting being located away from the busy convention center

I thought that having the residents summarize chapters out of a review book was a little odd.

I would like to see more surgical cases.

Nice updates; however, limited additive information to current general practice.

Please provide a selection card for boxed lunches so you can get the sandwich you actually want.

Resident lectures were great. More variety of lectures.

Solo strategies by Dr. Ladd. I would prefer lectures to assist with common and not so common medical conditions in the office. This would make a good luncheon lecture.

The conference ending at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday is not optimal for physicians/residents needing to prepare for their upcoming obligations and didactics on Monday. Traveling late in the evening and into the early morning hours is not safe.


The resident symposium uniformly excellent

The Sunday hours had to be at another location, so I gave them up. I don’t feel it was fair to do this as CME is so expensive, and I would have liked to have it at the hotel where the conference was held.

There should have been more organization and better structure at the main check in table. Too many forms and too many colored sheets of paper.

There were many good, practical "pearls" given during the conference. I especially liked the way the residents' lectures were organized (i.e. with an assigned topic rather than a case review).

Wanted to know more about surviving as a solo practice, but that turned out to be more of how to start your own practice. Still a good lecture but not what I had hoped.

We need help in an inventory management system for products we sell in the office. I have never seen anyone go over this aspect of the business. Sadly, the medi-spas do it better than we do. They have a software program, but it's costly. I want to know how great business-minded dermatologists do it.

Would like to have a meeting on the west coast, fair weather cities and easy access to large airports need to be top considerations. If the goal is to encourage attendance by society members then I suggest immediately eliminating mid and small market cities. When have you ever heard, "I'm really excited to take my family on vacation to St. Louis"?

Would like to see a different style of practice management. It would be great if we had folks who have a variety of backgrounds (multi-specialty groups, solo practice, single specialty, academic) give a talk on the present and future of practice management.
