2. The LSMS should continue to develop its peer-to-peer recruiting program. At this time, the 1 committee recommends an index sized card with talking points and QR code directing 2 physicians to a member interest form. LSMS staff will follow-up appropriately. A sample was 3 attached for review. 4 5 3. The LSMS should develop a mentoring program for medical students and residents. Connecting 6 students and physicians-in-training with active members will assist in retention and create long 7 term networking relationships with emerging members. A draft of the program was included for 8 review. 9 10 4. The committee suggests the following ideas for general recruiting efforts for LSMS staff:
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
a. poster/brochures in hospital lounges b. continue to speak at medical staff meetings
c. booth at LAMMICO events
d. booth at specialty society annual meetings and encourage LSMS members in attendance to
assist at the booth
e. purchase ad or advertorial space in specialty society or local society bulletins/newsletters
18 19 5. The committee suggested adding an Emerging Physician membership category. This new 20 category will cater specifically to members within 3 years of completing training while offering a 21 reduced price point. This recommendation would require a Bylaws change, which must be 22 approved by the House of Delegates. A draft resolution was included for review. 23 24 The board acknowledged that items #1 and #5 would require bylaws changes and recommended the 25 committee submit them through the LSMS Membership Virtual Engagement Portal. Furthermore, the 26 board considered items #2, #3 and #4 as work in progress and urged the committee to continue working 27 on the details and report back as progress is made or new details develop. During their discussion, board 28 members suggested several new items for the committee to review and consider. These included: the 29 development of a speakers bureau, hosting specialty specific Zoom meetings, offering more virtual 30 meeting and educational offerings, and developing something similar to Doximity or Linkedin on the 31 LSMS Website. 35 36 Dr. Paddock could not attend the meeting, therefore, Dr. Templeton presented the top five strategic 37 issues identified by the committee as 1) having more oversight of the Health Professionals Foundation 38 of Louisiana, restructuring the PH Jones Scholarship award(s), renaming and redefining the LSMS 39 Educational and Research Foundation, consolidating the three separate investment accounts with the 40 Foundation and create a mechanism that allows some form of collective bargaining for physicians as 41 both a member benefit and source of non-dues revenue. 42 43 1. The LSMS should require quarterly reporting to the LSMS Board of Governors by the 44 Healthcare Professionals Foundation of Louisiana. The first of these reports shall be received by 45 the BOG during the September 16, 2020 meeting. 46 47 2. The LSMS should convert the current P.F. Jones Scholarship into a super scholarship within the 48 Educational and Research Foundation so that there is more interest generated and require further 49 development of a relationship with the LSMS. The ERF should offer $10,000 to one student 50 32 33 34 Ad Hoc Committee on Corporate Structure
