Foundation President's Report

John Midtling, MD, MS, President

I am pleased to share with you my second annual report as president of the STFM Foundation. The Foundation had another great year in both our fund-raising efforts and our leadership initiatives. We were honored to have Joseph Scherger, MD, MPH, as chair of the successful Annual Giving Campaign, which generated contributions of more than $70,000, increasing our total assets to nearly $700,000.

The increase in the Foundation’s assets and the success of the Annual Giving Campaign represent the commitment of STFM members to continue to strengthen the discipline of family medicine and their willingness to support a wide range of activities to do so. In 2004, the Foundation continued its ongoing activities to provide leadership in the discipline through the following programs:

• The Bishop Fellowship Program, the only career development program that identifies and prepares qualified senior family medicine faculty with the skill set needed to successfully compete for high-level academic positions, such as dean or vice-president of academic affairs. We are pleased to announce that Elizabeth Burns, MD, MA, (University of North Dakota) and Marjorie Bowman, MD, MPA, (University of Pennsylvania) were selected for the 2004–2005 class of Bishop Fellows. This brings the number of Bishop Fellows to nine.

• Inaugurated in 1996, the Faculty Enhancement Program provides mini-fellowships for family medicine educators to learn from their peers at other institutions. We have now provided support for 34 faculty. Chosen to participate for the 2004–2005 program year were: James Cook, MD, University of Michigan; Jeffrey McCollum, MD, University of Oklahoma; and Lee Radosh, MD, Reading Hospital, West Reading, Pa.

• The International Scholarship Program supports international family medicine educators at the STFM Annual Spring Conference. Joining us in New Orleans will be Ludmila Balteanu, MD, from Chisinau, Republic of Moldova.

• The New Faculty Scholar Award is a program designed to identify young leaders and provide exposure to academic family medicine and its leaders at the STFM Annual Spring Conference. This is a popular program. Each year we receive more applications than we have available openings. Joining us this year in New Orleans are Careyana Brenham, MD, Southern Illinois University; Phuc Duc (PD) Nguyen, MD, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston; and Stephen Scott, MD, Baylor College of Medicine.

The Foundation’s F. Marian Bishop Award honors an individual who has made significant contributions during his/her career. In 2005, we honor G. Gayle Stephens, MD. Dr Stephens, a past STFM president and the founding president of the STFM Foundation, has been the intellectual conscience of family medicine. His writings have challenged us and helped us shape our discipline. His Family Medicine as Counterculture and the Intellectual Basis of Family Practice are classics in the philosophical maturing of family medicine. We are indeed pleased to recognize this intellectual giant.

Joseph Scherger, MD, MPH, will present the Leland Blanchard Memorial Lecture at the STFM Annual Spring Conference. His presentation, titled “The End of the Beginning: The Redesign Imperative in Family Medicine,” will be an important element in addressing the New Model of family medicine, which is the centerpiece of the Future of Family Medicine Initiative. Among his many leadership positions in family medicine, Dr Scherger has served as president of STFM and the STFM Foundation and has served on the Boards of the AAFP and ABFM. He is currently is a faculty member at the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine.

We at the Foundation are pleased to sponsor and be a part of the outstanding programs and awards. We are committed to developing family medicine leaders for the future and appreciate and value the dedicated STFM members who demonstrate their commitment by contributing to our Annual Giving Campaign. I invite all STFM members to join us in support of the Foundation and the future of family medicine.

It has been a great pleasure to serve as your Foundation President and to work with the outstanding members and staff of STFM. Thank you again for your generosity and support.
