Opening Session
Emerging Health Care Trends: What it Means for Physicians and Your Organization
Timothy Norbeck, Louis Goodman, PhD, Walker Ray, MD
The Physicians Foundation makes significant investments in conducting comprehensive, timely research that examines the issues affecting doctors, patients and the future of the U.S. healthcare delivery system. In 2012, they conducted one of the largest physician surveys ever undertaken in the U.S. Their goal was to provide doctors with a clear voice on the most pressing issues facing our nation regarding the delivery of health care. The research examined physician morale, practice patterns, patient accessibility and career plans – all issues that deeply affect physicians and their patients. The Physicians Foundation will discuss its compelling findings and explain what you need to do to remain relevant in these changing times.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Every Friday AAMSE's Gateway to Discovery will be featuring interesting information about the 

2013 Annual Conference host city: St. Louis.

In recognition of the St. Louis Cardinals' Opening Week and to get everyone excited to visit Busch Stadium and watch the Cardinals face off against the San Diego Padres - an optional outing during the Annual Conference – here is a quick overview of Cardinals' Baseball.

 

A Brief History 

Founded in 1875, the Cardinals were first known as the St. Louis Brown Stockings and later the Browns.  They officially changed their name to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1900. 

The franchise has won 11 World Series Championships, the second most after the New York Yankees.  The Cardinals have also won 11 division titles and 18 National League Pennants.  Throughout the team’s history, St. Louis Cardinal players have been named MVP 20 times. 

Players

The Cardinals have seen their fair share of great baseball players, but here are a few notable Hall of Famers:

Stan Musial:  Stan “The Man” Musial is the franchise's career leader in nearly every category including games, at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, triples, home runs, RBI and walks. His number, #6, was the first number retired by the St. Louis Cardinals.  He was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.

Ozzie Smith: Winner of 13 consecutive Golden Gloves, the most of any shortstop, he was elected to the All-Time Golden Glove Team in 2007, on the 50th Anniversary of the Golden Glove Award. His number, #1, was retired by the Cardinals in 1996 and he was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 2002. 

Bob Gibson:  Regarded as the greatest pitcher in Cardinals' history.  In 1968, he pitched the greatest season in modern baseball with an ERA of 1.12. Winner of 9 Golden Gloves, two World Series MVPs and 2 Cy Young Awards, his number, #45, was retired in 1975 and he was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1981.

Busch Stadium

In 2006, the Cardinals moved from their old ballpark to the new Busch Stadium.  This downtown stadium has the capacity for 46,000 fans and sells an average of 540,000 hot dogs a year!

Every Friday AAMSE's Gateway to Discovery will be featuring interesting information about the 

2013 Annual Conference host city: St. Louis.

While you are in St. Louis for the 2013 Annual Conference make sure to try some of the delicious local favorites and unique eats that the city is known for:

Gooey Butter Cake:

Toasted Ravioli:  
    Originating in St. Louis' Italian neighborhood, The Hill, this ravioli is breaded then deep fried and served with marinara sauce - it doesn't get much better than that. Mama's on The Hill

St. Louis-Style Pizza:  
     Known for its cracker thin crust, Provel Cheese (a combination of provolone, swiss and white cheddar) and generous amount of toppings. This St. Louis tradition is usually cut into squares, making it perfect for sharing. Imo's Pizza

St. Louis Barbecue:  
     Smothered in rich, tangy sauce (often St. Louis' own Maull's brand), this style of barbecue is grilled then drenched in sauce rather than dry-rubbed and slow-smoked. Maull's
