delivery system. We understand that our nation faces significant fiscal challenges; however, these cuts will undermine ef- forts to achieve broader, long-term re- forms to the Medicare program.” AMA, the American Hospital Associa-
tion, and the American Nurses Associa- tion released a report that found up to 766,000 health care and related jobs could be lost by 2021 as a result of the 2-percent sequester of Medicare spend- ing mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011.
Academic physicians: Reward yourself
Have you been working hard teaching for the past three to five years? TMA thinks it’s time to reward yourself. If you are a physician who has taught medical students, residents, or fellows for at least the past three years and you were a TMA member during that time, TMA encourages you to apply for new awards created for doctors like you. The TMA Award for Excellence in Academic Medicine (
www.texmed.org/ TMA_Academic_Award/) recognizes teaching physicians who are clinicians and have a record of TMA leadership, scholarly activity, mentoring, profes- sional development, advocacy, and com- munity service. “TMA is eager to recognize our physi- cian leaders who are dedicated to caring for patients as well as preparing tomor- row’s physician workforce,” said David P. Wright, MD, chair of the TMA Council on Medical Education. “These awards express the value TMA places on the academic segment of the physician com- munity and the role they play in trans- forming health care through teaching.” Qualification for bronze- and silver- level awards is through self-nomination. Physicians may download and submit the application by Dec. 31. TMA is de- veloping criteria for gold and platinum levels and will announce them in coming months.
Once TMA verifies your eligibility
for a bronze or silver award, you will receive a framed certificate in the mail.
