1- AMA June 2020 Annual Meeting suspended because of pandemic
2- Interview “Special Considerations for Communicating With Colleagues and Patients: COVID-19”
1- AMA June 2020 Annual Meeting suspended because of COVID-19 pandemic
Excerpt from email sent by AMA Speaker and Board Chair today:
“Given the current pandemic and the demands upon our physicians and healthcare system, combined with government mandates prohibiting large-scale gatherings in Chicago and continuing restrictions on travel throughout the country, your AMA Board of Trustees has declared that an emergency condition exists per Section 13.1 of our AMA Bylaws and that the planned regular June 2020 Annual Meeting of the House of Delegates is therefore suspended.”
“Your Board will continue to monitor the evolving situation and we anticipate convening a Special Meeting of the House of Delegates–a limited virtual meeting to conduct essential business and transition leadership–when conditions have improved and a quorum can reasonably be achieved.”
Bruce A. Scott, MD, Speaker, House of Delegates
Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH, Chair AMA Board
2- Interview from afar re communication during a crisis
Here is the future. Communicating with news organizations, including TV, radio, print, and Internet companies via computer, modem, and streaming camera. It is being done now, of course, but the future will have lots more of it. Many techniques to learn to have the interview look professional.
My home high-tech TV and Radio interview setup is not complete yet. The interview below did not have my latest high-tech equipment installed yet. However, the studio will be completed by next week, the same time my new book is released on April 7. Hard to find a high-quality streaming video camera as all sold out. Finally got one ordered last night (the last one available by buying a package deal with headphones). ZOOM was the vehicle for the interview connection. Incidentally, I am using ZOOM and my current setup to teach at Tulane Medical School. Today I participated in a 2-hour session with other professors and the medical students.
The following interview is with Peggy Peck, the outstanding reporter and now Editor-In-Chief of BreakingMed.

Stay safe!
P.S. Tough to market a new book with book signings and TV interviews cancelled because of COVID-19. Goal is to get some interviews via new streaming setup at home! Much appreciation if you can spread the word about the book, A LEADER’S GUIDE TO GIVING A MEMORABLE SPEECH. Hope the folks who ordered from Amazon get the book on the promised delivery date of April 7. Only time will tell. Incidentally, I mentioned in the interview 3-30-2020 the memorable speech by Queen Elizabeth discussed in my book chapter on memorable speeches by women. I quoted from it. Then yesterday, April 2, Peggy Noonan wrote column in Wall Street Journal using that speech with essentially the same quote as an example of a powerful speech in a crisis. Quite a coincidence!
