2023 Women in Medicine Abstract Submission

August 23-26, 2023 Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort Suquamish, WA SUBMIT ABSTRACT

Women in Medicine would like to extend a formal invitation for you to submit a presentation abstract for the 39th Annual Conference which will be held at the Clearwater Casino Resort in Suquamish, Washington on August 23-26, 2023. Women in Medicine (WIM) is a non-profit organization founded in 1984. Through its annual retreats, WIM engages a international community of lesbian, sexual minority women, and gender expansive physicians, medical students, and our families. WIM values cross-specialty continuing medical education, family-oriented community building activities, and professional mentorship.

Plenary Sessions: Plenary Sessions are from 45 to 60 minutes in length and will be the only presentation offered during that time period. Preference will be given to proposals that relate to medical topics. Panel presentations are also possible as plenary sessions.  Workshops: There will be multiple workshops scheduled concurrently. These will be 40 to 45 minutes in length. Presentations may focus on any topic of interest to lesbian and other gender and/or sexual diverse physicians or medical students and their partners.   We are interested in topics that appeal to a multi-specialty group with a focus on women's and LGBTQ+ health. There is also a dedicated lecture on substance use disorder. Additional topics include physician wellness, end of life care, and physician activism.   Longitudinal Workshops: We are also looking for leaders and topics for longitudinal groups which meet 3-4 times throughout the duration of the conference. A select number of these topics may qualify for CME. Examples include coming out, environmental health, gender diversity, etc. Leaders are not required to be trained facilitators and newcomers are welcome.

Attention all Medical Students/Residents and Fellows: • Do you have something that you would like to present at WIM? • Do you have preliminary data on a project and want to know how to go forward?  • Do you have completed research that you would like to have critiqued? • Do you have what you think is a good idea for a research project but lack support for it?  WE HAVE SOLUTIONS FOR YOU: Rather than having you stand in front of a white board with a poster, we are holding a special session dedicated to these presentations. You will each have no more than 10 minutes to present your material (no more than 5 PowerPoint slides-one of which should include a question you have about your project that you hope will generate productive feedback from the audience). You will present your research findings (preliminary, early results, or even preliminary planning for your project is acceptable) during a plenary session. If selected, presenters will be provided with formal letters to their training programs to help secure time and funding for the conference.   Please submit your abstract by February 1, 2023.   We look forward to hearing from you.
