You can play a part in developing the educational programming for the Texas Medical Association’s annual policymaking and networking event.
TexMed 2023 will take place May 19-20 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth. The theme is Navigating the Future of Medicine.
If you wish to have a topic considered for the educational programming component, you may submit your proposal by visiting the application portal and creating a user account.
Proposals will be accepted until Jan. 20, after which TMA’s education planning team will review all submissions. Acceptance will be based on the quality of the proposed content and space availability. Accepted proposals will receive notification by the end of January or early February.
All proposed sessions should fit within one of the following programming tracks:
Leadership and Professional Development: Aims to improve physician leadership skills, advocacy, and decision-making. Learning outcomes should help physicians understand and implement leadership strategies for their own benefit as well as that of their practice and community.
Physician Health and Wellness: Provides education to physicians on maintaining well-being throughout their career. Education may address topics such as stress; moral injury; physical, mental, and emotional health; and more. Learning outcomes should help physicians identify and implement tools and behaviors to improve well-being and avoid impairment.
Population Health and Public Health: Addresses priority public or population health issues such as obesity, opioid use, human trafficking, cancer, maternal health, holistic medicine, and others. Learning outcomes should help physicians identify and implement tools and behaviors to improve patient outcomes.
Business of Medicine (practice help/management; quality improvement; career management): Helps improve understanding of practice management tools for operations, billing and coding, finance, compliance, telemedicine, insurance and payers, and more. Learning outcomes should help physicians identify and implement solutions to increase their practice viability and sustainability. Programming for quality improvement aims to improve patient care, making it more safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Learning outcomes should help physicians understand and evaluate potential revenue (or penalties) in performance measurement programs based on evidence-based medicine.
Specialty Trends and Updates (this track is only for specialty societies holding their meeting during TexMed): Provides primary and family care physicians with updates on new and emerging trends in specialty care. Learning outcomes should help primary and family physicians recognize and responding to symptoms or issues that may need specialty consult.
