In Chicago, Illinois, on May 7, 2009, a group of 53 medical educators representing many U.S. certification boards, residency review committees, and medical societies met to review and approve a white paper intended to promote Recommendation 4.2 of the Institute of Medicine report of April 14, 2008, "Retooling for an Aging America: Building the Healthcare Workforce." This recommendation is one of 14 and states: "All licensure, certification and maintenance of certification for healthcare professionals should include demonstration of competence in care of older adults as a criterion." Background information given included the growing numbers of older adults, review of a 15-year initiative by a section of the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) to include geriatric education in all surgical and some related medical specialties, a recent announcement of 26 elder care competencies to be expected of graduating medical students from association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) affiliated schools, and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) approach to 'Reinforcing Geriatric Competencies through Licensure and Certification Examinations." Nine points involved in the implementation of this recommendation received discussion, and approaches to realization were presented. In conclusion, this white paper, which those listed as being in attendance approved, proposes hat all ABMS member boards whose diplomates participate in the care of older adults select the floor competencies enumerated by the AAMC that apply to their specialty and add or subtract those completed during their trainees' initial (intern) year and then define those needed in subsequent years of residency and ultimate practice. This would fulfill the requirements of Recommendation 4.2 above.
2009 年 5 月 7 日,在伊利诺伊州芝加哥市,由 53 名医学教育工作者组成的小组代表美国许多认证委员会、居住审查委员会和医学协会,开会审查并批准了一份白皮书,旨在推动 2008 年 4 月 14 日美国医学研究所报告的建议 4.2。该建议是 14 条建议之一,内容为:“所有医疗保健专业人员的许可、认证和维持认证都应包括作为标准的对老年人护理的能力证明。”给出的背景信息包括老年人口的增长,对美国老年医学会(AGS)一个分部 15 年倡议的回顾,该倡议旨在将老年医学教育纳入所有外科和一些相关医学专业,最近宣布了 26 项老年人护理能力,这些能力是美国医学院协会(AAMC)附属学校的医学生毕业时应具备的,以及医学专科委员会(ABMS)通过“通过许可和认证考试加强老年医学能力”的方法。对实施这一建议的 9 个要点进行了讨论,并提出了实现的方法。最后,与会的与会者批准了这份白皮书,建议所有 ABMS 成员委员会,如果其专业人员参与老年人的护理,应选择 AAMC 列举的地板能力,这些能力适用于他们的专业,并添加或减去他们在受训者最初(实习)年完成的能力,然后定义在随后的居住和最终实践中所需的能力。这将满足上述建议 4.2 的要求。
