Present your ideas at national conferences

By: Diane Farineau August 28th, 2008

I just received a reminder that the Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine is accepting workshops/abstracts proposals for their 2009 Spring Conference. The ACGME is also accepting proposals for their 2009 Annual Educational Conference as well.

It’s not just program directors and faculty submitting abstracts. I love walking around at these conferences and seeing all of the abstracts done by coordinators!

If you stop to think about all of the input we have as coordinators and the perspective we have after several years in the job, we definitely have insight and experience to share.

Take a look around at things you do well in your program and whip up an abstract for submission!  You just might surprise yourself.
