Hi all,
The submission time frame for the Annual SGIM is coming up soon: August 28 - September 26th! The meeting theme is “Health IT: Empowering General Internists to Lead Digital Innovation"
This is what we discussed at the last meeting for possible submissions:
1) Honoring patients as teachers: Incorporating learners into clinical interactions with vulnerable populations--Pam and Joe will lead and reach out to Women's Health and Refugee health interest groups
2) The LGBT friendly EHR: Best practices for EHR's to be inclusive of our diverse patients--Robin and Carl will take the lead. Carl has contacts at Vanderbilt; I am also happy to help as we and some folks at Denver Health have recently done some work in this area.
3) Trans Health--Megan, Jules, Robin, and Helene have volunteered
4) PrEP--Viraj is planning on working with HIV interest group on this
5) Leveraging technology to engage vulnerable populations--Viraj will reach out to medical informatics interest group; please let me know if you want me to reach out to Disparities Task Force as well.
6) Clinical Vignettes--Zoe, Caitlin, and Joan will each submit a clinical vignette (or more). Please know that we'd all be willing to help review/revise if you'd like.
There were other ideas for workshops related to Advocacy via the EHR, Advanced Sexual History taking, and Implicit Bias.
Please respond to the group if 1) you are still on board to lead what you volunteered for, and 2) if you are interested in joining one of these or submitting something new.
Best,
Rita
