ET MINUTES Members Present: Members Absent: Frank C. Biondolillo, DO, FAEP Joseph A. Cook, MD, FAAFP Michael J. Rankin, MD, FAEP Mike Misko, MD, FAAFP, FAEP Franz Ritucci, MD, FAEP Geoff L. Ruben, MD, FAAP Gabriel G. Sanchez, MD, FAEP Edward F. Stewart, MD Staff Present: Jan Deitch, MLS, Executive Director ______________________________________________________________________________ Item Discussion Action 1. Call to Order The meeting was called to order by Dr. Ritucci at 11:00 a.m. 2. PAs Associate The issue on the table was to complete the vote left Dr. Stewart motioned Membership open at the close of the 01/19/05 Board Meeting to offer AEP Membership to Issue to offer Associate Membership in AEP to PAs. PAs to include three features: Dr. Ritucci re-introduced Dr. Stewarts motion. 1) at a cost of $75.00 per There was a discussion about the pros and cons membership year, 2) to adver- of such a move. Jan read Dr. Miskos email of tise in the PA professional 02/20/05 in which he reiterated his beliefs that journals and via word of the issue of PAs in AEP is bigger than what some mouth, and 3) to incorporate of the other Directors believe. He believes that if a PA Member in a non-voting PAs are accepted as members (associate or otherwise), position on the AEP Board. it has the potential to split the organization Dr. Ruben seconded the something that AEP cannot afford with its lean member- motion. The following roll ship numbers. Dr. Misko said that the whole issue of call vote was taken: MLPs in EM is a huge issue and one that is debated not Dr. Ritucci yes for motion infrequently. Dr. Miskos belief was that to give the Dr. Sanchez yes for motion issue fair consideration, I think that this discussion Dr. Ruben yes for motion should be held at a time when both Ed and I can be Dr. Biondolillo yes for motion on the call. Ed and I view this issue 180 degrees Dr. Rankin yes for motion differently. Our views are diametrically opposed. Dr. Stewart yes for motion To have this discussion at a time when one of us The motion passed. cannot be there is paramount to stacking the deck. Further discussion as follows: Dr. Ritucci a safety valve in this is that the PAs as Associate Members - would be non-voting members. Dr. Ruben AEP will be ahead of the curve of other EM Associations by offering PAs Associate Membership; ___________________________________________________________________________ Item Discussion Action it will show AEP to be more open minded than conservative on this issue. Dr. Sanchez - what are the advantages? Dr. Stewart as PAs penetrate the EM environment, what is their role; they will remain physician extenders, not physician replacements. Dr. Ruben by embracing PAs, AEP can help to define their scope of practice rather than them becoming physician replacements. Dr. Sanchez the definition of their roles and scope is already defined by law. Dr. Stewart AEP will be a body of force that can back them up against corporate America by lending support to PAs. Dr. Sanchez do they have to be members of AEP to have AEP support? Dr. Stewart membership in AEP will give PAs a voice. Dr. Ritucci this will reinforce AEPs position with PAs. Dr. Sanchez they will outnumber physicians eventually and what will that do? Dr. Stewart physicians will come along with them, hopefully. Dr. Ruben there will most probably not be a rush to AEP by PAs; this is a strategic move. Dr. Stewart SEMPA has 1000 members; if AEP gets 25%, that would be good. Dr. Biondolillo this should augment and improve AEP members standing; create a niche for AEP. 3. Fellowship The other item presented at this Special Board Meeting Dr. Ruben motioned to Program was Dr. Miskos Recommendations and Revised to change the wording in Guidelines for Fellowship so that the AEP Fellowship Item 2. of the Re-Revised Program could be resumed ASAP.
