Programming will be tailored to best benefit physicians by TMA’s new Committee on TexMed Education. All proposed sessions should fit within one of the following identified programming tracks:
Leadership and professional development. Programming submitted in this category aims to improve physician leadership skills, advocacy, and decision-making. Learning outcomes should assist physicians in understanding and implementing leadership strategies for their own benefit, as well as that of their practices and communities.
Physician health and wellness. Programming submitted in this category aims to provide 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 assist physicians in identifying and implementing tools and behaviors to improve well-being and avoid impairment.
Population health and public health. Programming in this category should address priority public and/or population health issues. Education may address topics such as obesity, opioid use, human trafficking, cancer, maternal health, holistic medicine, and more. Learning outcomes should assist physicians in identifying and implementing tools and behaviors to improve patient outcomes.
Business of medicine (practice help/management; health technologies; quality improvement; career management). Programming submitted for practice management aims to improve tools including those for operations, billing and coding, finance, compliance, telemedicine, augmented and artificial intelligence, electronic health records, insurance and payers, and more. Learning outcomes should assist physicians in identifying and implementing 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 assist physicians in understanding and evaluating potential revenue (and/or penalties) in performance measurement programs based on evidence-based medicine.
Specialty trends and updates. Only select this track if you are a specialty society holding your meeting during TexMed and your content/agenda is three hours or less. If your content/agenda is four or more hours, email Sue Mullen, TMA’s manager of educational development services, to obtain instructions on how to submit your program.
Programming in this category aims to provide primary or family care physicians with updates on new and emerging trends in specialty care. Learning outcomes should assist general practitioners in recognizing and responding to symptoms or issues that may need specialty consult.
