APPD Special Interest Group (SIG)

Dena Hofkosh, MD, University Health Center of Pittsburgh; Lynn Campbell, MD, University of Kentucky Medical Center Program; and Jeffy Rushton, MD, Indiana University School of Medicine

The SIG (Special Interest Group) is a key forum during the APPD meeting to allow Program Directors to brainstorm and prioritize issues to discuss. This year the SIG will generate discussion about topics that are most on the minds of Program Directors. By positioning the SIG prior to the plenary session and allowing time for Q&A following the plenary, we hope to provide plenary speakers a list of specific questions to discuss for all APPD attendees.
