WEB EXTRA! 2004 AMA interim meeting Dale Moquist, M.D., of Houston, chair of the Academy's delegation to the AMA House of Delegates, launched his candidacy for a seat on the AMA Council on Medical Education at the association's interim meeting Dec. 4 - 7 in Atlanta. Moquist, an AAFP delegate to the AMA since 1998, was nominated for the post by the Academy and has been endorsed by the Texas Medical Association.
As for why Moquist chose to make a run for the CME council, in particular -- it was a logical fit, he said.
"If you look at what the Council on Medical Education does, it deals with undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education and continuing medical education -- lifelong learning," Moquist noted.
"I've been precepting medical students for over 20 years," he explained. "I've been a full-time academic since August of 1988, and I've been very active in organizing and working with continuing medical education and presently serve as chair of the committee for CME of the Texas Academy (of Family Physicians). It only made sense that would be the council that I would go for."
