Accepted! Strategies for Clearing the Common Hurdles in Manuscript Writing
Facilitated by Annie-Laurie McRee, DrPH (General Pediatrics and Adolescent Health)

In this session we’ll discuss a stepwise approach to manuscript preparation, journal selection, submission, and addressing revisions and share tips with each other to move from blank page to publication.

Grand Rounds, Invited Lectures, Visiting Professorships, Oh My - Strategies for Developing a National Reputation
Facilitated by Michael Pitt, MD (Hospital Medicine)

One of the most widely used definitions for promotion criteria is the development of a reputation among peers regionally (associate professors) and nationally (professors) as evidenced by invitations to give talks, peer review, serve in leadership positions, etc. Yet despite this expectation, figuring out exactly how to make this happen is often elusive. In this session, one of the most requested topics we’ve received in P2P feedback, we will discuss five proven strategies for developing and maintaining a reputation in your field of expertise.

Offered:
Wednesday, September 26, 12pm

Friends Next Door - Leveraging Community Partnerships in Research, Teaching, Clinical Work, and Advocacy
Facilitated by Peter Scal, MD, MPH (DOGPAH)

Getting involved with community organizations can be useful in several aspects of our work. Whether partnering with disease specific organizations (eg, ADA), parent advocacy groups (PACER), quasi-governmental organizations (Council on DD), or clinical programs (Catholic Charities) creating community relationships takes skills, time and purpose. In this session we’ll discuss strategies for meaningful engagement within the community to strengthen  various aspects of our academic and clinical work and improve the community we live in.

Offered:
Thursday, September 20, 12pm
Wednesday, October 24, 12pm
