Notes from our Meeting Friday 4.8.22 at SGIM National Conference
Sorry – I did not take attendance! There were 18 people, which is not bad for a 7 am meeting!
- We reviewed available clinical educational experiences for medical students and residents. Here are some options. Please reply via SGIM connect with additional opportunities you are aware of!
- Montefiore/Albert Einstein: rotation includes clinical work on Rikers Island.
- Brown: rotation with the Rhode Island DOC
- Denver Health: possible elective opportunities
- Aaron Fox: a group is convening to consider a pilot of a universal longitudinal medical school curriculum for correctional health care. Think about if your school/institution might be a good candidate – needs to be implemented as a core course (not elective) and with longitudinal exposure across 4 years. Stay tuned for more details.
- There is an SGIM policy paper / white paper in the works on Health and Incarceration. Please let us know if you are interested in working on this!
- Name change – general consensus among those present to change the name to “Health, Justice, and Incarceration”. Please bring any thoughts or concerns to the group if you have them!
- We are going to update the SGIM Connect page in the coming days with additional resources for reading material, conferences to attend, and very good listservs to join!
