opening comments from the Health Resources and Services 
Administration's (HRSA) senior officials. Presentations will be given 
by experts in family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics on a 
proposal to create a national faculty development initiative. The 
purpose of this HRSA-supported program is to train clinical educators 
on methods to teach and assess trainee competencies for twenty-first 
century practice. Following the presentations, time will be provided 
for discussion and comment by ACTPCMD members and for public comment. 
Next on the agenda, elections will be held for chair and two vice

a session closed to the public. The afternoon session will be devoted 
to small and large group work on the tenth report.
    The meeting on July 20, 2012, will begin with an update on the 
Division of Medicine and Dentistry's development of performance 
measures and methods of longitudinal evaluation for Public Health 
Service Act Title VII, section 747 and 748 programs, after which the

continue work on the tenth report in both small and large groups. The 
afternoon session will include an update and an opportunity to make 
comment on grant activities within the Primary Care Medical Education 
Branch of HRSA's Bureau of Health Professions' Division of Medicine and
