Chapter Business Report 2017-2018: SC

Student Committee

Chair: Natsumi MOMOKI

REPORT:

prepared for the session presented by the student committee at general meeting
had presentations about ACPJC at several workshops run by highly motivated students and young doctors, and let them know for example, what is ACP, what we do, or what we can offer them and to promote them to join in the general meeting

PLAN:

To recruit more new student members, we have to make plans other than just advertising by making use of mailing list and Facebook.

First and forecast, we have to get medical students recognize the presence of ACPJC. As student member’s fee is free and we offer them several privileges, we can expect them to join ACPJC member by having them know the advantages.

Although we offered student members discounts for our general meeting as one of advantages, we faced difficulty making them join our general meeting for this two years. To improve this situation, we would like to propose taking a survey to understand what medical student in Japan feel current circumstance is lacking in, and what they really need. That could give us one of the effective ways to make our general meeting be more unique.

Last year, we held the ACP Japan Chapter Annual Meeting 2017 at the Kyoto University Clock Tower Centennial Hall and the Kyoto University International Innovation Center on June 10^th and 11^th, 2017. Since we expanded the venues (rooms) for the session, we could accommodate as many as 32 sessions (didactic sessions, workshops), 8 luncheon seminars, special sessions (Plenary session, Governor’s address, Dr’s Dilemma and ACP update), a poster session with almost 100 abstracts with best poster presentation on the following day, so we kept the number of the sessions which increased significantly every year since 2013. The Doctor’s Dilemma (Medical quiz session) attracted many contestants from hospitals all over Japan which ended with a much success and the some of the winners were selected as the members representing ACP Japan Chapter and just participated and did their best in the Doctor’s Dilemma held in Internal Medicine 2018 held in May, 2018 in New Orleans. The poster discussion was a very lively session with many participants with full of discussions. Three presenters with each representative of students, residents and young physicians were awarded and had a chance to give a presentation in the main hall the next day, applied to the Internal Medicine Meeting 2018 and seemed to get motivated by this wonderful experience. We had the immediate past president, Dr. Nitin Damle, who provided the educational talk at the plenary session and ACP update.

Agenda 3 Chapter Business Plan:

– Organizing the Annual Meeting 2018 of the ACP Japan Chapter (http://www.acp2018.org/)

On June 2nd and 3rd, 2018, we will organize the Annual Meeting 2018 of the ACP JC in Kyoto. Beginning last year, Kyoto University International Innovation Center was added to the venue of the Meeting as well as Kyoto University Clock Tower Centennial Hall to accommodate more attractive sessions and lectures. In fact, this year we accommodate 45 sessions with special sessions

The theme of the Meeting this year is “Mind & Arts as Essentials for Internists: Beyond Evidence and Technology”. We will address this very important issue in the plenary session, following the keynote lecture from the immediate past president of ACP, Dr. Jack Ende, with experienced physicians who practice medicine with mindfulness as guest speakers, discussing how we can raise the mindful care as well as technical part of medicine in the era of super-aging society with the frail elderly. In addition, we will offer sessions like Dr’s Dilemma (an inter-institutional Quiz tournament by teams of residents), the poster-discussion session, as well as the special talk by Dr. Jack Ende. This time, we also invite Dr. Muruganathan from India chapter of ACP to enhance the partnership with Asian chapters.

In the Clinic Japnese translation project. How to incorporate In the Clinic in daily practice: 5 minutes bedside teaching

Dr. Kitano : St. Marianna University Yokohama City Seibu Hospital, Emergency and Critical Care Medicine

5-minutes teaching held on 3rd Jun 2018 at Kyoto

In the Clinic Japanese Translation Project has been in progress which is one of the leading project of PRC (public relations committee). There have been more applicants than the actual slots for the translation teams. The first translated article of In the Clinic, which is HCV, has been posted on the ACP main chapter’s webpage this April. Through this project, our goal is to have the members of ACP Japan Chapter to be able to utilize the excellent ACP resources including In the Clinic.
At this year’s annual meeting, we have presented a practical workshop with the collaboration of ‘In the Clinic Translation Project’ and ‘Bedside 5-minute Teaching’ We prepared the 12 general rules = Bedside 5-munite Teaching, which are based on 6 articles of In the Clinic.
In this practical workshop, participants have output the Bedside 5-munites Teaching and at the end of the seminar, they appeared to find themselves be able to use the rules as part of their active knowledge in the clinical setting. We hope this workshop served as an eye-opener to get one out of a lifelong sense of insufficiency where one feel he/she is not acquiring active knowledge even with a lot of literature reading.
