This year’s meeting, Professionalism: The Profession of Teaching, Teaching the Profession, will demonstrate
CREOG and APGO’s continued commitment to you, your medical school, our learners and our patients. The
goal of the meeting is to help you become an even better women’s health teacher and leader while fostering
increased excellence in medical education. You will be able to explore the benefits and opportunities of
collaborating with each other along with colleagues in other disciplines, professions, institutions, and countries.
In our continued effort to be more environmentally focused, the meeting program/syllabus will again be
available online. Flash drives containing the meeting syllabus will also be available onsite for purchase.
Furthermore, following the meeting, evaluation forms can be accessed and completed online.
We extend our appreciation to the program co-chairs, Lee A. Learman, MD, PhD, and Roger P. Smith, MD,
for their hard work in developing an exceptional program. A special thank you goes to our supporters for their
generous contributions to the success of this year’s annual meeting.
We welcome you to San Antonio, and hope you will take home innovative ideas, as well as memories of a
program that was both educationally inspiring and motivating!

C-SECTION
Tubal Ligation
• No transection of tubes or surrounding tissue – reduced risk of bleeding
• Excellent efficacy2
• The lowest incidence of ectopic pregnancy3,4
• Quicker and easier method compared to Pomeroy1
• Engineered to enclose thicker or swollen fallopian tubes
• Also ideal for laparoscopic and post-vaginal delivery tubal ligations

physician’s career, as a student or resident, will avoid the formation of
habits which are difficult to correct later.

Grand Oaks L
Mark J. Di Corcia, PhD
Mary Pell Abernathy, MD
Précis: This breakout session is designed to explain how impressions are
co-constructed by the communication between preceptor and student. By
understanding core communication philosophical principles, preceptors will
be able to identify key student issues, their meaning, and learn a simple
four-part feedback statement to assertively explore and address observations
and behavior. Preceptors will also develop an awareness of how their
communication and behavior influence a student’s attitude toward their
specialty, the field of medicine, and health care as a whole.
4.Working Session on Faculty Fatigue:
Balancing Education, Safety, and Productivity
Cibolo Canyon 6
Paul L. Ogburn, Jr, MD
Joseph Chappelle, MD
Michael L. Lydic, MD
Jolene Muscat, MD
Précis: Faculty Fatigue (FF) adversely affects safety, education, and
productivity. While there are impediments to solving the problems of FF,
appropriate actions must be taken to protect and benefit patients, trainees,
and faculty.
5.Tracking Resident Clinical Outcomes
Cibolo Canyon 5
Gavin Jacobson, MD
Amy (Meg) Autry, MD
Diane M. Hartmann, MD
Précis: It is likely that GME funding will require clinical outcomes tracking
in the future. Many hospital systems already track and incentivize outcome
measures for physicians and more than 90 percent of America’s health
plans use the HEDIS tool to measure performance on important dimensions
of care and service. In this session, participants will be introduced to three
different approaches to tracking and, in one case, incentivizing resident
clinical outcomes.

6.Professionalism Across the Generations:
Relativity in the Workplace
Grand Oaks K
Patrice M. Weiss, MD
Susan M. Cox, MD
Précis: Professionalism is a difficult concept and competency to clearly
define. Adding to this challenge is the differing norms and behaviors of
different generations. Understanding these can help educators better assess
and model professionalism in learners.
