Clinical Updates

Clinical Updates are primarily didactic, but the use of engaging teaching techniques is strongly encouraged. All sessions should be designed for a general audience of SGIM meeting attendees.

Clinical Updates will highlight information from five to eight papers (or other relevant resources) that, according to the presenters, have significantly impacted the practice or understanding of the topic area. For Updates presented annually, the content must reflect papers published within the most recent 12 months. For novel or less frequent Updates, content may include papers published within the preceding 24 months. Each paper's discussion should include the presenters' insights on how the paper contributes to the literature and why its findings are relevant to clinical practice or teaching. Topic examples include updates in medical education, health policy, diabetes management, women’s health, adolescent medicine, and more.

Novel and/or highly relevant update ideas are also encouraged. These may cover changes or innovations in clinical care and education due to COVID-19, next-generation payment models, telehealth/mobile health/virtual healthcare, technology in medicine, PrEP/PEP, interprofessional healthcare delivery, or gene therapy.

Note: Prior acceptance of an Update submission does not guarantee acceptance for SGIM25.
