Reviewers are an essential part of the abstract acceptance process. We ask our reviewers to read and score submissions, ultimately helping the committees decide whether to accept them. The review period will start on October 16, 2026, with final scores due to SGIM on October 28, 2026.

You do not have to be an SGIM member or a part of the region to review. This reviewer volunteer opportunity is open to faculty and fellows only. Residents should wait to apply until their training is complete.

The Southwest SGIM Regional Emerging Leader Scholarship supports medical students, residents and fellows, and junior faculty who are interested in building skills and becoming more involved in General Internal Medicine (GIM).
