The Clinical Practice Committee (CPC) supports member efforts to deliver high-quality, sustainable care and advance the practice of general internal medicine at the intersection of innovation and evidence translation. The CPC’s work is anchored in a strong community that shares innovation and knowledge while producing opportunities to advance academic and clinical careers through leadership and scholarship. Through the CPC, we guide members to achieve sustainable and satisfying careers in GIM. The committee strives to identify and disseminate the best evidence, models, and methods for practice redesign, quality and patient safety, and evidence-based medicine.
