A previous column (August 25, 1999) discussed the resolutions and reports related to graduate medical education and residency training that were adopted by the American Medical Association Resident and Fellow Section (AMA-RFS) at its annual meeting. This week's column discusses the outcome of resolutions related to public health and safety.

National Residency Database was referred to the RFS Governing Council for further study. It called on the RFS to support the creation of a national database that would track residents and fellows who have either been dismissed or have resigned from residency programs for academic or disciplinary reasons. It also calls on the RFS to oppose investigation by state medical boards into the termination or resignation of a resident or fellow unless academic or disciplinary reasons were cited for the resignation or termination. The Governing Council will present a report with its recommendations at the RFS Interim Meeting in December.
