Poety of Life Presentations (New Venue in 2010)
The Family Medicine Education Consortium (FMEC) announces a new venue by which medical students, residents and practicing physicians may present patient stories they have recognized in the course of their relationships with their patients. Accepted presenters will be allowed a maximum of five minutes and five slides to introduce a memorable encounter/moment/relationship which has inspired their own passion to serve and care for others.
Presentations will be videotaped in a breakout meeting. The audience will consist of a small group of reviewers. The video-recording will be made available for others to view at a later date, e.g. on YouTube, the Family Medicine Digital Resource Library and the FMEC website. Up to 10 presentations will be selected for presentation at this year’s meeting. Here is an example of a Poetry of Life presentation from the 2009 meeting. (Please note: this video-recording was completed under poor lighting conditions)
Ms. Carol Dwan
Submissions are especially encouraged by medical students and residents who have been moved by an experience which has changed their lives and led to an even greater enthusiasm to pursue our healing profession. Potential personal identifiers of the patient must specifically be excluded.
A submission involves a single spaced, one page description of your presentation. A peer-review process will be used to select the 10 best submissions for presentation at the meeting.
Submissions should be made only by those who will attend the 2010 FMEC Northeast Region meeting. An award for best presentation in this category will be conferred on Sunday morning at this meeting. Direct any questions to Richard Colgan, MD.
