- Appropriate for Readers of: JAMA
- Description: The Boot Camp is designed to meet the needs of new physician leaders with little previous exposure to organizational leadership issues. Through years of research pressure-tested with CEOs, CMOs, and current and emerging physician leaders at over 50 institutions, we've found that as physicians move into leadership roles, they find themselves without the necessary tools and tactics to navigate them. Strong physician leadership is even more critical in the era in which an organization's working relationships with its physician leaders, including the collaboration between clinical and administrative leaders, are increasingly used in evaluation. Recognizing that leadership skills are honed over time with practice and repetition, the Boot Camp is a terrific way to start the process and to identify those physicians who are truly committed to leadership roles. Orienting physicians to the health system organization and its often perplexing dynamics, who makes what decisions
*Exposing participants to basic health system economics and to the ways in which physician decisions impact performance
*Demonstrating the benefits of collaboration and how to manage and navigate groups effectively to achieve optimal results, setting agendas, working with interdisciplinary groups, and managing meeting time
*Heightening awareness of communication challenges and their impact, how perceptions impact results
*Framing and articulating an appropriate physician leadership agenda, goals and objectives for the first 100 days to manage talent, instill accountability, and elevate the practice standard

Website: http://www.diahome.org/DIAHOME/Education/FindEducationalOffering.aspx?productID=22376&eventType=Meet
- Appropriate for Readers of: JAMA
- Description: European legislation and guidelines such as Volume 9A require all marketing authorisation holders to have a Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV) with responsibility for establishing and maintaining all aspects of the company’s global pharmacovigilance system. Although acknowledged to be a vital function, there is little practical guidance on how QPPV responsibilities should best be conducted, while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly in complex or challenging situations. The jurisdiction of the QPPV stretches to wherever there is an active licence for a product authorised in the EU. Thus the role in many companies has a far reaching impact outside the EU or may extend to products licensed by one or more affiliates or subject to co-marketing agreements. During this meeting we will discuss and draw on experience of handling these situations in the current complex environment to help QPPVs perform their job more efficiently.

- Subjects/Keywords: Progressive myoclonus epilepsy, epilepsy, myoclonus, clinical, genetics, neurophysiology, neuropathology, neuroimaging, diagnosis, treatment, genetic counseling
- Appropriate for Readers of: JAMA, Arch Intern Med, Arch Neurol, Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med
- Description: The progressive myoclonus epilepsies (PME’s) comprise a large group of genetically determined disorders characterized by myoclonus, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, cerebellar dysfunction and variable degrees of cognitive impairment. The first comprehensive meeting on PME’s was held in Marseille in June 1989 in the pre-molecular era. Since then, several new disorders have been included in the list of PME’s, and approximately thirty genes have been identified. Accurate diagnosis of the specific forms of PME, however, remains a challenge. Recent recognition of anti-myoclonic properties of some anticonvulsants may lead to symptomatic improvement in patients with PME’s.
This meeting aims to update the definition and classification of the progressive myoclonus epilepsies, and to discuss diagnostic guidelines and genetic counseling. The purpose is to characterize the clinical features and the neuropathological, neuropsychological, neurophysiological and imaging findings for each disease and to correlate them with the specific molecular findings, i.e. genotype-phenotype correlations. It also aims to review the geographic and ethnic distributions of the various PME’s, to correlate these with the molecular findings, to outline the mechanisms responsible for epileptogenesis and for neuronal degeneration in the various PME’s and to determine common pathophysiological mechanisms, in both patients and animal models. In addition, it will review current symptomatic treatments as well as newer treatments based on specific molecular findings and disease mechanisms.
