the development of a comprehensive list of
roles that preventive medicine physicians
play, which will be ready for review at
the committee's February 2003 meeting in
San Diego, for
ACPM
's
use in various educational, training, and
job market initiatives. Further, the
list of "Roles" submitted by Dr.

highlighted in the
ACPM
Careers in Preventive Medicine slide show
will be used as the starting point for
deliberation. Committee members were
encouraged to begin weighing in on the
proposed lists either using the Policy

establish a Maintenance of Policy
subcommittee to examine
ACPM
's current policies that are expired,
about to expire, or simply out-of-date;
refer those policies that originated under
the purview of the
ACPM
Prevention Practice Committee to that
committee for review; and review those
policies that originated under the purview
of the Policy Committee and recommend to
the Board of Regents for each policy
whether it should be archived as inactive,
revised to reflect current information, or
continued as active in present form.
The committee also agreed to recommend a
change in the existing

for all policies be changed from three
years to five years.
