  • Thanks to everyone who helped make the NMPRA National Conference such a huge success! Thanks for the support and participation by all!

  • Program Representatives: NMPRA is very interested in getting a program representative from each Residency program. The representative would act as a liaison between NMPRA and the residency program and ensure that residents have access to information about upcoming events and the NMPRA newsletter. This position would also create better communication between programs and NMPRA regarding projects, concerns, and much more.

  • NMPRA is still advocating to have Med-Peds listed as a Primary Care Specialty. Please send a letter to your state representatives! The link to the letter is below.

  • The NMPRA Newsletter is out!
    • NMPRA is always interested in what you have to say. Consider writing an article for the upcoming newsletter!

  • The updated Fellowship guide for Med Peds is now available on the website. (Thanks to Dr. Kaelber for putting this together!)

  • There are still Med-Peds t-shirts available for sale. Information about getting a shirt will be on the website soon.

  • Plans are underway for the upcoming Northeast Regional NMPRA Conference in Buffalo, NY on Saturday, April 17th 2010. Stay tuned for information about registration. Dr. Friedland will be speaking and topics will include EMR and Social Networking.

    ]]>         What NMPRA is working on ... (September 2009 Update) http://www.medpeds.org http://www.medpeds.org Mon, 11 Jan 2010 21:00:00 EST September 8th 2009

    1. NMPRA's Program Membership is well ahead compared to this time last year and this includes up to date resident information so NMPRA is better able to contact the Med-Peds Residents across the country!
    2. As new programs are established we encourage these programs to participate in NMPRA and be connected with what Med-Peds Residents are doing around the country.
    3. The NMPRA board voted to continue current registration fees which are based on the number of residents in each program, which will allow new programs to have a membership that is fee free until they have residents to fill their new positions. This should help with resident recruitment and keeping all Med-Peds programs connected on NMPRA news and happenings.
    4. NMPRA Board Members are voting on the Advocacy awards and Case presentations this week. Thanks for all the submissions!
    5. NMPRA is looking forward to the National Meeting in Washington, DC on October 17th 2009. The board is working hard to make this a great experience for those who are able attend!
    6. This year all residents can register for the NMPRA National Meeting via www.medpeds.org and PayPal.
    7. Dr. Friedland is working to have Med-Peds added to the Primary Care Specialties on House Bill 3200. Please keep checking the website for more information on how to contact your Legislator for this important designation for Med-Peds Physicians.
