AMPA President’s CornerDon’t let the lazy days of summer take too much energy out of you! There is a great fall conference season ahead and I can’t wait. AMPA has been hard at work trying to bring more of what our membership wants. New presentations, panel discussions, and group sessions on topics that matter to all of us. It is an exciting time and with a new exciting format. We are also looking forward to the opportunity for Core attendees to also contribute to AMPS for the first time. The board has made it a priority to revise existing and create new positions in line with our vision. I hope to have open discussion and debate on these in the fall. We have also completed our move to a new web platform and hope to soon have educational and resource material available to members. I can’t wait to see you all in the fall, and to hear all of your ideas about our specialty and how we can make your AMPA experience better. Lauri Bolton, MDPresident

AMPA Distinguished Physician

The Distinguished Physician Award was established in 1993 to recognize a physician who has significantly contributed to the air medicine profession and to recognize lifetime achievement and service to the air medical

community. The AMPA Board of Trustees will select the award recipient from

nominations of AMPA members submitted by the membership in writing to the AMPA office by August 1, 2017.

The Award carries with it travel to the 2017 AMPA General Membership Meeting in Fort Worth, Texas and one night’s lodging.

Medical Director of the YearIt is time for nominations for AMPA’s

Medical Director of the Year

In 2000, the Air Medical Physician Association instituted a new annual award in addition to the yearly Distinguished Physician Award. In contrast to the Distinguished Physician Award, which is intended to recognize lifetime achievement and service to AMPA and the air medical community, the Medical

Page 3: Air Medical - AMPA€¦ · Web view951 E. Montana Vista Lane, Salt Lake City, Utah 84124 June 2017 Mission Statement The Air Medical Physician Association is an international organization

Director of the Year is intended to recognize that physician who has made outstanding contributions to his or her own program.

For that reason, AMPA asks that nominations for this award of recognition come from individual programs. We would like to hear from the flight crews, administrators, and/or program staff about the outstanding contributions of their medical director.

The nominee should be an AMPA member and have shown exceptional personal involvement in the program. We are looking for those that are considered an invaluable part of the team’s success and whose contributions to medical direction, education, quality care, outreach, safety, and team morale to be part of the essential fabric of the program…in short, a leader.

Nominations should be in the form of a one-page letter, which outlines qualities for which the medical director should be recognized. Nominations should be made electronically to Pat Petersen at the AMPA office to [email protected] by August 1, 2017.

The Medical Director of the Year will be announced at the AMPA General Membership meeting in Fort Worth. Current AMPA Board members are not eligible for the award.

THANK YOU! JOB WELL DONE!

The 2017 CCTMC presented April 10-12 in San Antonio, Texas hit the highest attendance ever! Over 380 health care professionals, and 27 exhibitors participated, coming from all over the United States, and internationally from Canada, Sweden, United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. Some comments from attendees included….

I like the laid back atmosphere, and as always, excellent speakers.

Overall amazing conference. Very current information. It was hard to decide which lecture to attend on most blocks.

As always this is the best critical care transport conference .

Quality of speakers. I haven’t missed one CCTMC in five years and bring a significant number of my staff to this conference.

The anatomy program was incredible!

Getting updates from extremely competent and experienced people on the latest, literally state-of-the-art and science.

The networking is fantastic. Even when there is nothing revolutionary to report, it validates practice and provides a chance for dialogue.

The majority of presentations met my expectations and will in some way, shape, form or modify my management of patients.

The half-day Ultrasound Workshop, was presented again this year with continued popularity. Combined with the annual Critical Care Procedural Anatomy Program, the clinical experience that participants receive at CCTMC is stellar!

Thank you to all of the excellent speakers at CCTMC with special appreciation to the following AMPA members who presented at the Critical Care Procedural Anatomy Program, Ultrasound Workshop and the 2017 Critical Care Transport Medicine Conference
