Call for Award and Grants

SGIM awards and grants provide well-deserved national recognition for exceptional achievements and innovations in the health care profession as well as contributions to the Society.  Please consider nominating one of your peers for one of these important career advancement opportunities.  We have re-opened nominations for selected awards.  The extended deadline for these awards is February 1, 2010.

New Ethics Resources for General Internists

The SGIM website now provides a resource list for education, faculty development, and research funding. This is a great place to find cases, articles or other tools for teaching house staff and students. 

Call for Papers: Observational Studies of Theraputic, Preventative and Behavioral Interventions

Papers should be submitted following JGIM's online procedures at http://jgim.iusm.iu.edu/ (select “Observational Studies Symposium” from the drop down menu) by May 3, 2010.  This symposium will focus on high quality studies of health care interventions that are conducted using observational approaches (e.g., cohort studies, case control studies) rather than randomized controlled trials.
