I'm the manager for The Center for the History of Family Medicine, and today I'm speaking with Diane McDaniel, who is the manager for the Office of Governance and the assistant secretary for the Congress of Delegates for the American Academy of Family Physicians. Today we are going to talk to her about her 40-year career here with the Academy. So first off, tell us how you came to be employed at the Academy?\n\nDiane McDaniel:A fluke. I actually went through a headhunter company who got me a job here at the Academy. Actually, an interview. I didn't even expect to get a job at the Academy. It was just an interview. She sent me on a bunch of interviews.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Wow. So who did you do your interview with?\n\nDiane McDaniel:It was Mr. Walter Kemp. He was the publisher of the American Family Physician.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Okay. And when was this?\n\nDiane McDaniel:That was my first job. This was May, 1980. I was just graduating from college and weeks later, I started working for the Academy and for Mr. Kemp.\n\nCrystal Bauer:And you said this was your first job out of college then?\n\nDiane McDaniel:First job out of college.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Wow. And then who was your first supervisor?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Mr. Walter Kemp, the managing publisher of the American Family Physician at that time.\n\nCrystal Bauer:And so tell us a little bit more about him.\n\nDiane McDaniel:Oh gosh. Now you're asking me to go back 40 years. Walter, actually, he was a pretty interesting guy. He's an author. He published his own book. He was with the Academy for a long time too. Unfortunately he developed cancer in the brain and succumbed to that later.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Why don't you tell us a little bit about when you first came to the Academy? What was the work environment like? What was the culture like?\n\n\nDiane McDaniel:Oh gosh, it's such fun memories. For a 21 year old, right out of college, it was like just going from college life to another college life. So it was a great transition into the working world for someone that young. It was so fun to work at the Academy. You wanted to get up and go in to work because you wanted to be around all the people all the time. And we were. We were together all the time. We would go out partying at night after work. It was just a wonderful culture of family culture at that time. If there was a big project going on, everybody chipped in. Nobody had to be asked. We just all chipped in and helped out.\n\nCrystal Bauer:That's great. From your perspective, how has the work environment and culture changed over the years?\n\nDiane McDaniel:It's changed a lot. A lot. Well, because of the Academy at the time I came on board, I think there was like 110 staff. So it was easy to bond with 110 people. But as the Academy grew to what we are today, the culture had to change because there was just too many people to bond like that anymore. So it's more of a corporate structure and culture now than it was back then.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Sure. Sure. So tell me a little bit about projects you remember working on. What were some of your most memorable projects?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Let's see. I worked for Dan Ostergaard for 14 years as his executive assistant. He was an interesting fellow and interesting work. He was on the road all the time, so it left me all alone to do whatever work I needed to get done. We started the international aspect of the Academy. It was solely on our part, no one else. And we kept a bunch of files and started working toward international family medicine part of the organization.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Could you tell us a little more about what it was like to be a woman when you first came to the Academy?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Yeah. It was a little... In the '80s like that. Yeah. There was a little bit of sexual harassment going on, but you... Did I really think of it as sexual harassment? No, not really. Not back then. Not what you would call it now. A lot of flirting, a lot of, well, a lot of hookups. It was very different back then. And I don't think the role of the woman... I was treated like a woman. I always got coffee for my boss, picked up his dry cleaning, all that kind of stuff. After a while, you get tired of that and think, \"Okay. This is not my job.\" That type of thing. So yeah, it was very different back then.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Were many women in leadership roles at the Academy at that time when you started working there?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Yes. Yes, there were. There were some, but it was mostly men. All the RVPs were men. Most of our division directors were men. Some of our middle level managers were women, but it was only when we got into more of the late '80s and '90s that we started seeing more women in the higher roles, division director.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Okay. So why don't you tell us all the different positions you've held at the Academy over the years?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Okay. Let's see. When I started, I worked for Walt Kemp, the managing publisher of AFP for about a year and a half. And then I applied and got the position of working for Dr. Ostergaard and at that time he was division director for the education division. About a year and a half later, he got promoted to vice president of education. And I think it was scientific affairs at the time. And I went with him as his assistant, where I worked with him for 14 years. And then I applied for a manager position as a manager of live CME programming, which I worked there for seven years. And then I applied for the position of assistant secretary for Congress of Delegates in 2003 and been there in that position since.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Great. What has been your favorite position while you were here?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Well, there's actually two. I really enjoyed my position as CME manager. It was a group of people. We bonded so much so easily. There was about 10 of us that worked in that department. And we would even spend weekends at the lake together, we bonded so closely. And it was a lot of fun traveling together. We did a lot of travel during that time period. Also, being the assistant secretary to congress of delegates. That has been, I guess, I probably enjoy, I'm very proud of that position.\n\nCrystal Bauer:That's great. What was your greatest satisfaction as you look back in the 40 years?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Wow, greatest satisfaction? That I made it 40 years. I'm still alive. Oh my gosh. All the changes with the Congress of Delegates. We brought it into the 21st or... I did. I brought it into the 21st century.\n\nCrystal Bauer:That's great.\n\nDiane McDaniel:It's now on to someone else to take it further.\n\nCrystal Bauer:That's great. What would you say was the toughest decision you ever had to make in this job?\n\nDiane McDaniel:In the current job I have?\n\nCrystal Bauer:In general. In any of your positions.\n\nDiane McDaniel:Oh, in general. Actually, when I applied for the current position I'm in now, I loved working in CME so much. When I was asked to apply for this position, I had a hard time deciding whether or not to do it. And a hard time deciding whether or not I wanted it when they finally offered it to me. Because I loved my CME job and I loved working with those people.\n\nCrystal Bauer:That's great.\n\nDiane McDaniel:[inaudible","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162646/file/296149#t=0.0,581.0"},{"id":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162646/file/296149/transcript/85844/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"] it's going to change after I left. And it did.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Let me ask you about the Academy itself. What do you feel the Academy is doing better now than when you first came to the Academy?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Advocacy, lobbying. I think they're doing much better job now. I don't even think we had much of a... We had a DC office back then, but I think it was very small. It's like three or four people at that time.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Wow. So big change.\n\nDiane McDaniel:Big change.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Let's shift gears a little bit. After your 40 years at the Academy, what advice would you give to a new employee coming here?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Learn the structure of the organization, and they will be able to understand how it works. A lot of people just don't understand how the organization works and how the decision making is done, because they don't understand the structure. And if they could understand that, then they might understand their job a little better.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Sure. Based on all your involvements in family medicine, what is your sense of where family medicine is going to go into the future?\n\nDiane McDaniel:That is a good question. It's hard once you... I have to admit I'm a little concerned for family medicine. With the increase in nurse practitioners and physician assistants seeing patients, family physicians are... They could become obsolete. And it does concern me that I think this could be happening over the next course few years.\n\nCrystal Bauer:What do you see the Academy doing to combat that from happening?\n\nDiane McDaniel:They're working on it. I know they are. Because they're trying to... Family physicians have residency training, have more extensive training than nurse practitioners and physician assistants. And that's how they're trying to combat with the training that they have.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Sure. What do you plan on being involved with after you retire?\n\nDiane McDaniel:Well, I've got some projects going on right now that I'm involved with that I've started already. So some are home projects. Some are outside projects. I got a little ferral kitty I'm trying to coax into becoming a part of my family.\n\nCrystal Bauer:That's great.\n\nDiane McDaniel:Take a while. She's very, very, very skittish. Then I'm also remodeling some stuff here in the house. I'm doing some repainting and things like that. Now, as far as outside the house, I don't have any immediate plans. I plan on taking some time off from work and then not work at all for a while, but eventually, I do want to get a part time job.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Great. Are there any last thoughts that you want to add?\n\nDiane McDaniel:I have enjoyed working at the Academy. It is probably, even though I've not worked anywhere else in my adult career, I had part time jobs before that I enjoyed. But the Academy is a special organization to work for. They are really, really good to their employees. Even though the culture has changed over the years, their taking care of the employees has come first for them, no matter what. And I can't be more thankful for a great career with them.\n\nCrystal Bauer:Well thank you for all of the time you spent with us doing this interview and of course we all wish you a happy retirement. Thank you so much.\n\nDiane McDaniel:Thank you. I appreciate it, Crystal.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://centerforthehistoryoffamilymedicine.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2195/collection_resources/162646/file/296149#t=581.0,845.768"}]}]}]}
