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

Consider submitting your Letter of Intent!

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 (February, June, August, October, December).
The first deadline is June 15, 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
How to optimize content for asynchronous learning, including providing a detailed content map (production-ready content that you intend to submit)
Who is planning this content (list of all authors/presenters)
When will you be ready to submit your production-ready content
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.

Resources

We encourage you to consider these Resources when preparing your LOI.

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 could 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 the Production-Ready Content Review Rubric.

Important Dates

GIMLearn will now be accepting rolling submissions.

LOI Submissions: SGIM will accept LOI submissions five times per year (February, June, August, October, December). The first deadline is June 15, 2026.
Phase 2: Production-Ready Content will be accepted three times per year (February, June, and October). An accepted LOI submission is required.
