Review Process
Only submissions received by the deadline will be considered for scheduling, indicating they are invited sessions. The SGIM Annual Meeting Program Committee will evaluate proposals based on their fit with the meeting theme, quality of the proposal, and VA relevance. Submitters will be notified by September 13, 2021 whether their submission(s) will be scheduled as a VA Special Series Session. This will allow time for those not selected to be submitted as workshop proposals in the Annual Meeting's standard peer-review process.
