Report from HPPC/CMC committee.

The road to an FACP – Why and how do we aim for it? –

(Health and Public Policy Committee,Credential/Membership Committee joint project)

Nihonkai General Hospital

Department of Internal Medicine

Division of Nephrology and Rheumatology

 On the second day of ACP Japan Chapter Annual Meeting 2018, the morning of June 3, we held a session with the above title as a joint project between HPPC and CMC. Although there are 320 FACPs and 6 MACPs as of July 1, 2017 in the ACP Japan Chapter, it was because we had the intention to have more member become FACP by listening to answers to questions “ Why did they aim for Fellow? ”, “ What kind of difference can be seen in daily work by becoming Fellow? “, and “How do they want to act in the future? “

 At the time of planning and submission, CMC was also planning a session to announce the procedure of Fellow application. Since the planning direction is the same, we decided to collaborate.

In the session, after opening remarks, we project the Convocation video which was held at ACP annual meeting (Internal Medicine). Prior to this project, we conducted a preliminary questionnaire using acp-exchange mailing list etc. Fellows and Masters were asked to answer in a questionnaire about the aim for Fellow and the change after becoming Fellow, and members were asked to answer in a questionnaire about the image of Fellow, whether they are aiming for Fellow, and whether they think that they would change themselves by becoming Fellow. So, after Convocation video presentation, we announced the results of the questionnaire and conducted a discussion based on the answer contents.

This time, Dr. Fumiaki Ueno (Governor, ACP Japan Chapter) and Dr. Kenji Maeda (Governor-Elect, ACP Japan Chapter) fortunately participated as a commentator. For that reason, clear focus was placed on this project, and a more meaningful message was conveyed to both the participants and the committee members as well (Dr. Ueno and Dr. Maeda, we thank you for taking the time to attend this session despite being busy during annual meeting). Although the motivation when respondents became Member or Fellow was various, we got impression that spiritual incentives such as pride, self-confidence, sense of responsibility, and so on, are given mental motivation to continue the occupation of a doctor by becoming Fellow.

After the discussion, there was a comment on the steps to apply for Fellow, and the session was summarized. Since the application procedure was explained in an easy-to-understand manner, for the participants, the method of acquiring Fellow became even clearer. Thank you very much for all the participants who had listened diligently.

We hope that more people aim for Fellow with this project as opportunity, but eventually, the two committees hope that number of members of ACP Japan Chapter will increase by repeating such a project.

HPPC/CMCより年次総会の報告

今回、HPPC/CMCの小山雄太先生より2018年度の年次総会の報告をいただきました。小山先生たちは皆さんも興味のある「FACPへの道」ということで講演されておりました。ぜひ、この報告を読んでFACPを深く理解してください。(PRC委員 宮内隆政/志村華絵)

「FACPへの道 - なぜ、そしてどのようにそれを目指すのか- 」

日本海総合病院 腎臓膠原病内科

小山 雄太 MD, FJSIM, FACP

ACP日本支部年次総会2018の2日目、6月3日の午前に、HPPCとCMCの共同企画として上記タイトルでセッションを開催した。ACP日本支部には2017年7月1日現在で320名のFACP,6名のMACPがおられるが、その方々はどのような思いでFellowを目指されたのか、Fellowになることでどのような違いが日常業務に生まれたのか、今後どのように活動していきたいか、といったことを聴くことで、より多くの方がFellowを目指しFACPになってもらいたいという意図があったからである。企画提出時に、Fellow申請の手順などをアナウンスすべくセッションを企画されていたCMCの皆さんと、企画の方角が一緒なので一緒にやりましょうということで共同企画にさせていただくことになった。

セッションでは、まず趣旨説明のあと、米国内科学会Internal Medicineで行われるConvocationのビデオ映像を供覧した。今回の企画にあたり、acp-exchangeなどで事前アンケートを行い、FellowやMasterの方々にはFellowになった経緯や昇格後の変化などについて、Memberの方々にはFellowのイメージや目指しているかどうか、Fellowになることで自身がどのように変化すると思うか、などについて回答を募っていたので、Convocationのビデオ供覧に次いで、その結果をセッション中に発表して、回答内容をもとにディスカッションを行った。今回、コメンテーターとして上野文昭・現支部長と前田賢司・次期支部長のお二人にご登壇いただけたことで、本企画に一本芯がしっかり入り、参加された皆さんにも両委員会委員にもより意義深いメッセージが伝えられることになった(両先生には会期中ご多忙にも関わらず本セッションにご登壇いただきありがとうございました.心より感謝申し上げます)。MemberやFellowになった時の動機は様々であったが、Fellowになることで誇りや自信、責任感など、医師という職業を継続するうえでの精神的な動機付けが付与されることが多いような印象であった。

これらの情報交換のあと、Fellowを申請するためのステップについて解説があり、セッションのまとめを行って終了となった。申請ステップの解説により、参加された方々にとってはFellow取得への道程がより明解になったことと思われる。熱心に聴講してくださっていた参加者の皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

本企画を契機にFellowを目指す方がより多くなることを願っているが、ひいてはこのような企画が繰り返されることによってACP日本支部会員がより多くなることが両委員会一同の望みでもある。
