This was an opportunity for the Medical Education community in and near Macomb County to exhibit their scholarly activity and quality improvement projects. This was a free virtual event. All faculty, residents, and medical students were eligible to submit. This event was sponsored by McLaren Macomb and co-sponsored by Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and Henry Ford Macomb.
Wednesday, January 26, 2022
12:00pm - 1:00pm EST
This forum is open to all healthcare providers, learners, and affiliate professions in Michigan and the surrounding areas. The goal of this symposium is to exchange ideas pertaining to the health of our community. For training programs, this also meets ACGME scholarly requirements.
Oral Presentations were available to view until February 11, 2022.
The recording of the presentation with Dr. Butki's keynote (Quality Improvement/Patient Safety as Scholarly Activity for Community-Based Training Programs) and presentation of winners is available upon request; please email lori.mills@mclaren.org.
