Each module begins with a standard introduction and overview, followed by an in-depth exploration of the topic, and concludes with a concise one-page outline to reinforce key points.

State Health Advocacy August Recess Grassroots Mobilization Challenge

(August 2024) Members of Congress are returning home to their districts during the August congressional recess. During this time, 바카라 사리트 is calling on internal medicine physicians to engage their representatives on important issues we need Congress to act on before the end of 2024.

To incentivize participation in this grassroots mobilization, the Advocates for Internal Medicine Network (바카라 사리트 grassroots network) is challenging members to see which states will have the highest engagement. Advocates can score points for their states by choosing to take one or more advocacy actions identified in the campaign.

Call for Spring 2025 Resolutions

(July 2024) Are you concerned about a practice or clinical issue or have an idea you would like to suggest? If so, you might consider submitting a resolution to your Governor or chapter council.

Initiating a resolution provides 바카라 사리트 members an opportunity to focus attention at the 바카라 사리트 national level on a particular issue or topic that concerns them. Participating in the Board of Governors resolutions process provides the 바카라 사리트 grassroots member a voice and allows you to shape College policy that impacts the practice of internal medicine.

Not sure how to begin drafting a resolution? Researching the College's position on an issue can give you a start. The 바카라 사리트 Board of Governors Resolutions Guide for 바카라 사리트 Members is available to download and will help, too. The Guide was created to provide members a short overview of the resolutions process essentials and highlights critical 바카라 사리트 online resources you must use.

Once drafted, members must submit resolutions to their Governor and/or chapter council. Chapter council approval is required to move resolutions forward to 바카라 사리트 national. Although not official 바카라 사리트 policy, a resolution becomes property of the chapter once the chapter council approves forwarding it to national. If effecting change interests you, the deadline for submitting new resolutions to be heard at the Spring 2025 Board of Governors Meeting is September 27, 2024.

Share your good idea with us. Draft a resolution.

We want to hear from you: Fall 2024 BOG Resolutions

(July 2024) The following resolutions are up for consideration at the Fall 2024 Board of Governors (BOG) Meeting. We invite you to review each resolution and share your support or opposition by completing the by August 12.

Developing Policy to Address Consolidation in Healthcare
Gaining an Understanding of the 1-Year and 3-Year Mortality Rates of Patients that Have Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Stays
Supporting Patients’ Access to Documentation and Communications in their Preferred Language
Declaring Access to Equitable, Affordable Healthcare is a Human Right
Developing Policy on Reducing Traffic Fatalities and Injuries in the United States
Revising 바카라 사리트’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy to Promote an Age-Friendly Professional Home and Create Engagement Opportunities for Senior and Retired Physicians
Advocating for Funding of a Direct Comparison of Two Highly Touted Dietary Approaches to Control Type Two Diabetes Clinical Measures and Costs

Resolutions provide our members an opportunity to focus attention at the national level on particular issues or topics that concern you and gives grassroots members a voice, allowing you to shape College policy that impacts the practice of internal medicine. Involvement in the resolutions feedback process is essential for maintaining a responsive and effective professional organization that truly represents its members.

Your feedback is valuable and will be forwarded to your Governor to assist in their testimony on behalf of the chapter. Thank you for your input.

(NOTE: Proposed resolutions should be considered confidential information and are intended to be viewed by 바카라 사리트 members only. Under no circumstances should proposed resolutions be shared with the news media or social networking media, nor should they be shared with other individuals and organizations. Proposed resolutions do not represent 바카라 사리트 policy.)

Happy Anniversary to our Chapter Members!

(April 2024) Congratulations to the Chapter's new Fellows. Fellowship in the College is an honor. Being an F바카라 사리트® is a distinction earned from colleagues who recognize your accomplishments and achievements over and above the practice of medicine. The most important considerations for 바카라 사리트 Fellowship are excellence and contributions made to both medicine and to the broader community in which the internal medicine physician lives and practices.

GIMSPP Student Application Summer 2024

(February 2024) GIMSPP stands for General Internal Medicine Statewide Preceptorship Program. By working with an assigned physician, students will gain insight into the rewards of a practice in internal medicine, and observe how a clinician functions as a member of his or her medical and non-medical community. GIMSPP staff work to place medical students with internal medicine physicians across the state for two, three, or four week preceptorships during the student's summer break. Although the preceptorship experience differs for every student, the objectives are designed so that each student will receive a well-rounded experience. The program’s emphasis is to familiarize medical students with the operation of a clinical practice and allow them to experience the full range of activities in the life of a General Internist. During this preceptorship students can develop skills in history taking, physical examination, early diagnosis, and treatment plan formulation, among others.

First- and second-year students enrolled in a are eligible to participate, if they have not participated in GIMSPP previously.

Tips , Tricks, and Things to Know

The more flexible your dates and locations, the easier it is for a match! We rely on volunteer preceptors and we work within their availability. We recommend listing the widest possible known availability at the time of application - you can always adjust your preferences later!
We do not match based on subspecialty requests. All of our volunteer preceptors practice at least 40% general internal medicine. We do not accommodate requests for placement in a particular subspecialty.
Make sure the email address you provide is one you check regularly! GIMSPP communicates primarily via email. A good email address is critical to not missing information about your match!
If you have changes to your application, please .
GIMSPP students and preceptors will have a post-program evaluation and outcome project. You can find the student evaluation here on this page closer to the summer.

YOU MUST CREATE A LOGIN TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION.

Member Feedback is Requested on Spring 2024 Resolutions

(February 2024) Twenty-one (21) resolutions will be considered at the Spring 2024 Board of Governors (BOG) Meeting. With the exception of Resolution 9-S24, which will not be debated because this resolution is slated for adoption as a reaffirmation, please review each resolution and then indicate your support or opposition by completing the by the deadline your 바카라 사리트 Chapter Governor has requested or by midnight March 13, whichever comes first.

Call for Fall 2024 Resolutions

(February 2024) Are you concerned about a practice or clinical issue or have an idea you'd like to suggest? If so, you might consider submitting a resolution to your Governor or chapter council.

Not sure how to begin drafting a resolution? Researching the College's position on an issue can give you a start. The just released 바카라 사리트 Board of Governors Resolutions Guide for 바카라 사리트 Members is now available to download and will help, too. The Guide was created to provide members a short overview of the resolutions process essentials and highlights critical 바카라 사리트 online resources you must use.

Once drafted, members must submit resolutions to their Governor and/or chapter council. Chapter council approval is required to move resolutions forward to 바카라 사리트 national. Although not official 바카라 사리트 policy, a resolution becomes property of the chapter once the chapter council approves forwarding it to national. If effecting change interests you, the deadline for submitting new resolutions to be heard at the Fall 2024 Board of Governors Meeting is March 29, 2024.

Share your good idea with us. Draft a resolution.

Congratulations New Chapter Fellows
