Series Overview

This educational series covers a variety of inpatient, outpatient, and consultative medicine topics pertinent to General Internal Medicine.  Our conference meets on Wednesday AMs (except not the 1st Wed of the month) during the academic school year. Most conference attendees are GIM physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, but nurses, pharmacists, psychologists,  resident physicians, fellows, medical students, nursing students, PA students may also attend.                                                                                                         

There are several available formats for our conference presenters to choose from:

Researchers are encouraged to make presentations “user friendly” for non-researchers and to teach and explain research methods whenever possible.
