Billie
Dalrymple, BA,
receives TACME’s 2007 Outstanding Achievement Award
The TACME Board
and membership are proud to announce that the 2007 Outstanding Achievement Award
recipient is Billie Dalrymple.
Billie L. Dalrymple, BA, currently serves as the Director for Continuing Medical
Education at Texas Medical Association in Austin, Texas. She has held several
positions in her twenty years at TMA beginning with coordinating the activities
of the Council on Medical Education, Committee on Health Careers, and House of
Delegates Reference Committee on Medical Education. In 1994 she became CME
Program manager responsible for managing TMA’s accredited CME program through
ACCME. In 1998 she assumed her current position as Director of CME overseeing
both TMA’s accredited CME program and TMA’s intrastate accreditation program.
She is a member of the Alliance for CME serving as a mentor for ten years, as
Chair-Elect of the State Medical Society Special Interest Group, as Chair-Elect
of the CME Basics Session, and as a member of the ACME Center for Learning and
Change Clearing House Task Force. For the Accreditation Council for CME, Billie
has participated as faculty in ACCME Accreditation Workshops for the last five
years, served as a member of the Monitoring Committee, works as a surveyor of
other state medical society accreditors, and is currently a member of the ACCME
Advisory Committee for Equivalency among Accreditors.
CME professionals across Texas that have programs accredited by TMA know Billie
to be a supportive resource and a knowledgeable advisor when it comes to
questions related to CME guidelines, documentation and program implementation.
Billie’s expertise about CME was only a part of the reason that she received
mention in the nomination forms. Enthusiasm, perseverance, friendly nature,
person with “down-to-earth delivery and a common sense approach” [when mentoring
and encouraging others in the profession] were all terms used to describe
Billie.
The award was presented by long-time friend and 2006 award recipient Mark Gregg
at the 2007 Texas CME Conference in Fort Worth in June.
