The purpose of these centers would be to create an academic platform to evaluate complex aeromedical cases, expand the bandwidth of FAA physician reviewers, and allow for increased exposure to a variety of cases for future trainees in Aerospace Medicine and potentially for any other interested FAA designated medical examiner.  \nCAMA President Clayton Cowl received word from FAA Federal Air Surgeon James Fraser that the Centers proposal was initially viewed favorably, and that the physician team at FAA headquarters in Washington, D.C. , would be reaching out to CAMA leadership to discuss next steps in the process of considering designating specific centers. Determining the ability of the Federal Air Surgeon's Office to designate such centers was to be investigated further within the FAA. Action planning may involve further face- to-face meetings with leadership of CAMA and perhaps other aerospace medical organizations.  \n“I believe we agreed that we would like to expand and explore our academic association with CAMA and [other academic centers],”stated Dr. Fraser in an email correspondence. “While there are logistical challenges to handling HIPPA-related issues in a grand rounds format available to all AMEs, we discussed several ways in which we could develop a closer academic collaboration.”  \n| | Time for End-of-the-Year Fine Tuning |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Clayton T. Cowl, MD, MS CAMA President |  |  |\n| As the year winds down, and we as FAAdesignated flight physicians look at potential practice improvements in the coming year or participate in strategic planning sessions, consider adding a checklist of items to improve your individual and team performances serving pilots as their Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) . Whether you are in solo practice or participate in a large team of medical providers, stepping back and scrutinizing how to best serve the aviators who present for evaluation should be part of a process of continuous quality improvement.\u003Cbr>Here are some things to consider:\u003Cbr>Are we providing the most efficient service to pilots?\u003Cbr>Efficiency and efficacy means different things to different people, but in general, the ability to make the process of applying for a medical certificate as easy as possible for the airman should be a goal of every practice. Use of the electronic medical application form, known as FAA MedXPress, is now required with the exception of certain AMEs who are performing examinations in international locations without access to on-line technology. Many practices are providing on-site kiosks for pilots to enter their medical information. These areas should be free of commotion and offer an environment that will allow the pilot to k","cbCaig7t5m71I3Tp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig7t5m71I3Tp","pdf",1056840,27,"English","# Specialized Centers of Aeromedical Excellence Concept Evaluated by FAA Medical Leadership\n## President’s Message\n## CAMA Luncheon Program\n## CAMA Sunday Program\n## Executive VP Report\n## Flu and the Elderly Host\n## Error Management\n## Physician Burn Out\n## AME Question Column\n## Robert “Bob” Hoover Obit\n## PBRII Legal Viewpoint\n## Blast from the Past\n## Life, Sustaining, Corporate, and New Members\n## CAMA Dues Form\n## Corporate Member Form","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of proposing Centers of Specialized Aeromedical Excellence?\",\"answer\":\"The proposal aims to create an academic platform to evaluate complex aeromedical cases, broaden FAA physician reviewer capacity, and provide greater exposure to diverse cases for future aerospace medicine trainees and other interested FAA-designated medical examiners.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the President’s Message suggest improving AME performance serving pilots?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends adopting a continuous quality improvement checklist, focusing on efficient pilot service, supportive assistance with complex cases, clear communication, and pre-scheduling appropriate recurrent follow-up visits.\"},{\"question\":\"Which FAA training requirements are discussed for AMEs and how can they be fulfilled?\",\"answer\":\"AMEs must complete MCSPT and CAPAME before attending a Basic AME Seminar.
