GIMLearn Call for Content

Content Focus Areas

The GIMLearn Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) welcomes content related to General Internal Medicine, academic medicine, leadership, and communications. We are open to a broad range of topics, but we will prioritize content aligned with SGIM’s priorities, mission, and values. We are especially interested in timely perspectives and underrepresented content that may not be widely covered elsewhere.

Priority topics may include, but are not limited to:

Career Transitions and Pathways
Leadership / Communications
Teaching / Educator Skills
Health Policy / Advocacy
Clinical Medicine: Inpatient or Ambulatory topics or both

Have a unique angle or a timely topic? Consider submitting an LOI! More information below.

Submission Process

There are currently two phases to a GIMLearn submission:

Phase 1: Letter of Intent (LOI)

SGIM will accept LOI submissions five times per year. The first deadline will be June 1, 2026.
The LOI is required for content to be considered for inclusion in GIMLearn.

Your LOI will need to include:

What you intend to teach the learner, including the educational need and learning objectives
Why is this topic important/timely
Who is planning this content (list of all authors/presenters)
How to optimize content for asynchronous learning, including providing a detailed content map (production-ready content that you intend to submit)
Selection of one of two dates (within 2-6 months) when you will be ready to submit your production-ready content

LOI responses will be provided within 4 weeks of submission. If your LOI is accepted, you will be invited to proceed to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Content Submission

If invited, you will submit production-ready content—all components of a complete course that a learner can navigate independently.

Examples of production-ready components include:

Slides
Video or audio recordings
Handouts
Quizzes
Surveys
Facilitator guides
Other learner materials as appropriate

Important: Invitation to submit does not guarantee acceptance. All submissions will be peer reviewed using a submission rubric (to be provided by May 2026).

Important Dates

The submission dates for Phase 2: Production-Ready Content will be available in the LOI submission. You will be given the option of a few submission deadlines, when your content will be production-ready. These deadlines will generally be 2–6 months after LOI notification. This date will be confirmed when you receive your LOI acceptance notification.

Note: Check back in April 2026 for details, including rubrics and instructions.
