We are working on a coordinated media blitz to announce our partnership with Weill Cornell for the development of a research library in participatory medicine. We are seeking members who would like to work on this research library project

Higher Logic Online Forum Peter Elias

We are initiating discussions on Higher Logic to get our members and board members used to this platform. The members of the Board will have full access to Higher Logic by the end of the month. We have connections to six communities. Three are self-designed and three are more professionally designed. We need to evaluate when our discussions will be open to all members for viewing and participation and when they are executive sessions for members of the Board and Executive Committee.

Learning Exchange Sarah Krug
The American College of Radiology is presenting the next Learning Exchange on: “Managing the Cost of Care.” It will include dialogue and discussion. They will use their own Go to Webinar platform for this presentation. This is planned for the end of March.

Definition of Participatory Medicine

A team of individuals led by Susan Woods is reviewing the definition of participatory medicine and looking for new ideas and changes. We will discuss this further at the next board meeting.

Newsletter
Jon Wald started a monthly column from the President in the newsletter and Joe Ternullo will continue this practice each month. Every member and board member is invited to contribute their thoughts by sending Joe an email. Joe will also add a section to his column that will recognizemembers for their outstanding achievements. There is a nomination form on Google that every member is encouraged to use for this purpose.

Issue for Future Discussion
