I believe that hospital medicine is its own specialty and necessitates a board of certification reflecting that fact.&rdquo;<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	The ABHM has been in development for the last three years under the direction of dedicated hospitalists from the United States and Canada. It is important to note, that some of the board members of the American Board of Hospital Medicine are dual-board physicians: boarded by the ABPS and also boarded by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), American Board of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ABOFP) and American Board of Osteopathic Emergency Medicine (ABOEM).<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	In its 58th year, the American Association of Physician Specialists, Inc.

These recent events affected areas not accustomed to hurricanes &amp; earthquakes and demonstrated the need of preparedness for all types of disasters.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	Just as communities prepare for the potential effects of disasters, natural or man-made, all local physicians must be prepared as well. The American Board of Disaster Medicine&reg; (ABODM&reg;) believes disaster medicine should be every physician&rsquo;s second specialty.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	&quot;Physicians trained in disaster medicine are needed to provide medical expertise and to work in tandem with other stakeholders to create public health policies that improve both the effectiveness and availability of medical care during epidemics, terrorist attacks and natural disasters,&rdquo; stated Martin E. Thornton, D.O., ABODM former chairman, as well as a disaster medicine specialist and emergency medicine physician from Aubrey, TX.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	Dr. Thornton has been actively deployed for many disaster missions and his participation in rescue operations at the New Orleans International Airport after Hurricane Katrina was followed by international disaster management and consultations. Most recently, he participated in lending aid to Haiti after the devastating earthquake.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	According to Dr. Thornton, the key to disaster response is good planning. Physicians need to have a plan and assemble appropriate emergency kits for potential disasters in their locality. They can begin by contacting local disaster preparedness organizations for information and the opportunity to network with other professionals to know what resources are available.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	For physicians to be an asset and not a potential victim in a disaster they must be informed. They should all take a proactive approach in knowing who is responsible for implementing the community preparedness plan and who is leading their hospital preparedness plan. More importantly, they need to know how to communicate with these entities in order to be an effective provider in a disaster situation.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	&quot;All too often, physicians well-meaning attempts to assist in cases of disaster such as tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and floods lead to more pandemonium due to a lack of disaster medicine skills,&rdquo; said Dr. Thornton. Rule number one in disaster medicine is, &quot;Never become part of the disaster.&rdquo;<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	Local leaders involved in the community and hospital preparedness planning should ask any physician who wants to get involved about their disaster medicine experience, knowledge and training.<br />\r\n	&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>\r\n	<strong>About the American Board of Disaster Medicine</strong></p>\r\n<p>\r\n	The American Board of Disaster Medicine (ABODM) comprises nationally distinguished physicians of numerous medical specialties who have comprehensive knowledge of disaster management, triage and incident command.

AAPS By-Laws require that the &quot;Association shall enroll each person accepted as a member of the Association as a member of the affiliated Academy which represents most closely the member&#39;s area of practice and interests.&quot; New members may be assigned to more than one Academy based upon their training and experience.</p>\r\n<p>\r\n	<b>Diplomate Members</b><br />\r\n	Diplomate members are members of the Academy who have been certified by the ABPS Board of Certification in the same specialty. Upon achieving Diplomate status, members&nbsp;partake in&nbsp;privileges not available to other Academy members. Diplomate members may be elected to serve as an Officer or Governor of their Academy, and in this capacity,&nbsp;are able to&nbsp;vote for members of the ABPS Board of Certification in their specialty.

The roles of the CAP include to:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Oversee and guide the direction of the professional Academies recognized by and affiliated with the Association to facilitate each Academy&#39;s promotion of the highest intellectual, moral and ethical standards in the practice of the medical specialty or specialties represented by the respective Academies;</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Establish criteria and make recommendations to the AAPS Board of Directors with respect to the creation, recognition and affiliation of other professional academies;</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Establish, with the approval of the AAPS Board of Directors, standards for the use of the professional Academies in awarding the Degree of Fellow; and</li>\r\n	<li>\r\n		Advise and inform the AAPS Boards of Directors of initiatives and activities related to the educational and professional purposes of the Academies.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>\r\n	<b>Promotion of State-Based Activity</b><br />\r\n	A state-based member initiative was launched in the Fall of 2002 by the Council of Academy Presidents, who believe that some issues facing members may better be&nbsp;resolved via communication within a state than through specialty-based groups. These state-based activities will complement, not replace or compete with, specialty-based academy activities. Therefore, the Academy presidents have taken the lead in contacting members in their home states to encourage communication. Working primarily by email, AAPS members will have the ability to share solutions to problems that others may also face. The second phase of the initiative will be for other Academy officers to contact members in their states, thus multiplying the number of states and members involved.</p>\r\n',0,'2009-12-18 18:05:14','2011-05-06 10:29:30',1,9,10),(6,NULL,14,'Auxiliary','auxiliary','','','AAPS Auxiliary ','','','<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">\r\n	WELCOME TO THE AAPS AUXILIARY</h4>\r\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 0px\">\r\n	<div>\r\n		<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.aapsus.org/userfiles/images/Auxlogo2.jpg\" style=\"width: 114px; float: left; height: 80px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px\" /></div>\r\n	<p>\r\n		The Auxiliary looks forward to your joining us in our activities and scheduled events.

(Example: If joined in April&nbsp;2010,&nbsp;then membership in AAPS is from April 2010&nbsp;to December 31, 2010.)</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: If I join as a New Member or Diplomate later in the year, do I have to pay the full year&#39;s CMF or dues? </b><br />\r\n	A: Annual CMF or dues are prorated in quarterly increments over the course of a year. The&nbsp; membership amount&nbsp;is based on the date in which you are certified (become a Diplomate) or the date&nbsp;your membership application was received and the&nbsp;annual fees&nbsp;were billed. The percentage amounts are as follows: January 1 - March 31, 100% of annual fees, April 1 - June 30, 75% of annual fees, July 1 - September 30, 50% of annual fees, October 1 - December 31, 25% of annual fees.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: Who is considered a New Member? </b><br />\r\n	A. This is an individual who has never been certified with ABPS, and who has never&nbsp;paid annual fees to the organization at any time.&nbsp;Prior to paying the annual fees, these&nbsp;are applicants provided they have a membership, certification, or both applications on file.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: When will I receive a CMF or dues notice? </b><br />\r\n	A: Initial annual fees or dues notices are mailed in October for the following year&nbsp;to allow members adequate time to pay their annual fees prior to the first of the next year. Additional notices are&nbsp;distributed in December, February (with late fees added), and a letter informing the member of removal from &quot;good standing&quot; is mailed on April 1,&nbsp;if a member has not paid their annual fees by that time.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: Do I have to pay my annual CMF or dues by January 1? </b><br />\r\n	A: No. However, it is recommended your payment is remitted as soon as possible, but it is not required to be received by January 1. Fees or dues received after January 31 are billed a late fee.&nbsp;Also,&nbsp;in order to remain a member in &quot;good standing&quot;,&nbsp;annual fees or dues&nbsp;must be received&nbsp;no later than March 31 of the involved year.&nbsp; Inactive/Suspended Diplomates or members who pay their CMF or dues after July 1 of the billing year will be required to pay the next year&#39;s CMF or membership dues.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What is a member in &quot;good standing&quot; and how does it affect me? </b><br />\r\n	A: A member in &quot;good standing&quot; is a Diplomate or member&nbsp;with up-to-date&nbsp;fees or dues for the current billing year or prior year(s) before March 31 of the billing year. Only Diplomates or members in &quot;good standing&quot; receive organizational mailings, information and credentials verified by AAPS.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What will I have to do, if my membership lapses? </b><br />\r\n	A:&nbsp;If a membership is lapsed,&nbsp;the member&nbsp;will have to pay all outstanding fees or dues, late fees, and reinstatement fees up through the current year prior to their membership being reinstated.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What are the Auxiliary Dues? </b><br />\r\n	A: Auxiliary dues are to support&nbsp;the various social events&nbsp; or programs offered by AAPS/ABPS. These dues are totally voluntary and are not mandatory payments for a member to remain in &quot;good standing&quot; except for Auxiliary board officers.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: What are late fees&nbsp;&amp; reinstatement fees and when are they charged? </b><br />\r\n	A: Late and reinstatement fees are added at certain points in the billing year for&nbsp;member(s) who have not yet paid required certification maintenance fees (CMF) or membership dues. Late fees are billed to Diplomates or members who have not paid their annual fees/dues before January 31 of the&nbsp;billing year. Reinstatement fees are billed to members who have not paid their&nbsp;annual fees/dues by March 31, and are no longer a member in &quot;good standing&quot;. Both fees are mandatory payments billed to the individual.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	<b>Q: How can I pay my annual dues? </b><br />\r\n	A: Annual fees/dues can be paid via&nbsp;check, money order, Visa,&nbsp;MasterCard and American Express.&nbsp; There is no fee for Visa and Master Card; however, a 3% fee of the total charge (over $1,000) is applicable for American Express credit card charges.</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h3>\r\n	<a href=\"http://aapsus.org/userfiles/files/CMFInvoice(1).pdf\">2010 Statement Notice Diagram</a></h3>\r\n<p>\r\n	&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p>\r\n	<img alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.aapsus.org/userfiles/images/CMF Invoice2010(1).jpg\" style=\"width: 600px; float: left; height: 849px\" /></p>\r\n<p>\r\n	&nbsp;</p>\r\n<div class=\"clr\">\r\n	&nbsp;</div>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\n	NOTE:&nbsp; All pricing is subject to change prior to annual billing cycles starting.

You raise the profile and perception of physician board certification by telling the world what your certification is about; a demonstration of your knowledge, experience and skills to provide high quality patient care in your specific specialty.</p>\r\n	<h2>\r\n		Be a Leader in Your Medical Community</h2>\r\n	<p>\r\n		Certification adds an important credential to your CV designating you as a dedicated and committed health care community leader. Certification enables you to stay current in your work and promote high standards in your specialty. Whether your medical community is local or global, virtual or real-life, take advantage to show your leadership qualities with well-honed volunteer skills. Volunteer opportunities may include:</p>\r\n	<ol>\r\n		<li>\r\n			hospital by-law committees</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			state medical boards</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			political campaigns</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			medical societies</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			healthcare advisory committees</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			editorial boards of medical journals</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			managed care organization, i.e. third-party payers</li>\r\n	</ol>\r\n	<p>\r\n		Incorporating the ABPS Diplomate Certification Service Mark into your marketing communications can also raise the profile of your certification. Please visit the ABPS website at www.abpsus.org for service mark usage guidelines. Below are some opportunities:</p>\r\n	<ul>\r\n		<li>\r\n			advertising</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			news releases/public relations</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			in-office marketing materials</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			patient outreach</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			newsletter articles</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			website listings</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			trade shows</li>\r\n		<li>\r\n			social media</li>\r\n	</ul>\r\n	<h2>\r\n		Inspire Others</h2>\r\n	<p>\r\n		Finally, by demonstrating the value of board certification you also encourage others to become certified or recertified.

These fellowships are intended to meet the rigorous national board certification standards of the American Board of Physician Specialties&reg; (ABPS), the official certifying body of the American Association of Physician Specialists, Inc.&reg; (AAPS).<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	Often a primary care physician&rsquo;s interests or geographic requirements create a need for continuing education and experience in emergency medicine. Graduate fellowships in emergency medicine help solve critical workforce shortages in many over-crowded emergency departments.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	The American Academy of Emergency Physicians (AAEP) credentials emergency medicine fellowship programs that prepare primary care physicians to become highly qualified in emergency medicine.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	Fellows work under the supervision of faculty experienced in all aspects of emergency medicine. Upon completion of post-graduate training and practice experience, participating physicians are eligible to apply for Board Certification in Emergency Medicine (BCEM).&nbsp;<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	BCEM is one of 17 national Member Boards of the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS), which certifies both allopathic and osteopathic trained physicians.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	<strong>Institutional Considerations</strong><br />\r\n	Sponsoring institutions need to be appropriately organized for the conduct of graduate medical education (GME) in a scholarly environment and be committed to excellence in both education and medical care. This commitment is exhibited by the provision of leadership and resources that enable the institution to achieve compliance with the requirements. This includes providing an environment in which the educational requirements, as well as the applicable requirements for scholarly activity, can be met. The regular assessment of the quality of the educational programs is an essential component of this commitment.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	<strong>Program Elements and Application</strong><br />\r\n	Specific program elements are outlined in the application. They include scope and duration of training, eligible candidates, program organization, program personnel, facilities and resources, educational program, program research and scholarly activity, evaluation and BCEM certification. Program requirements and fees are also identified in the application.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	<strong>AAEP Contact Information</strong><br />\r\n	Institutional leaders interested in making their training program more attractive to prospective candidates can learn more about the AAEP Post-Primary Care Graduate Fellowship in Emergency Medicine.<br />\r\n	<br />\r\n	<strong>Contact: </strong><br />\r\n	William J.
