The Call for Clinical Lightning Talks is now closed. Please contact ipceapps@umn.edu with any questions.
New this year, Nexus Summit 2021 has a special track for Clinical Lightning Talks, designed for clinical teams to share stories from the Nexus of practice and education.
Whether you have formal learners (students, residents, new team members) in your practice or your interprofessional practice team is working and learning together to improve Quadruple Aim outcomes (better experience for patients, improved health of populations, increased value, enhanced professional experience for the healthcare team), this track is intended to showcase your interprofessional clinical learning experiences.
We are particularly interested in learning with, from and about each other as you share your stories “from the trenches”:
- Adapting care due to the COVID-19 pandemic
- Engage patients, families, and communities in care design and delivery
- Work to achieve health equity and reduce disparities
- Engage your team in new ways to prevent and manage chronic conditions
- Adopt new members of the team to meet contemporary challenges and patient needs
Lightning Talks will include a 15-minute pre-recorded presentation (around 10 slides recommended) and a live discussion with other Clinical Lightning Talk presenters. Presenters are encouraged to focus on a specific model, experience, outcome or innovative design for this short presentation format. More information on recording methods will be given to accepted presenters after the peer review.
Clinicians and clinical teams are invited to submit abstracts for any of our Themes and Subthemes. Examples might include:
-
creating a new experience for students rotating in your practice to conduct outreach to historically underserved patients in your practice;
-
developing a new interprofessional practice leadership team;
-
creating a new in-service that brings the practice team together to develop, learn, and implement a new workflow to address patient and staff safety during COVID-19
But please do not limit yourself to these examples! We know practice teams are constantly addressing opportunities to improve the care we provide our patients and the ways we work together. We are eager to learn how you have engaged the professional and non-professional members of your team, learners, educators, patients and communities to improve health and learning outcomes.
