The Diagnostic Researcher Workshop was a free, half-day event on Saturday, November 9 (registration required) to train SIDM’s research community on Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) and Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) strategies with the ultimate goal of catalyzing increased numbers of high quality PCOR and CER diagnosis research proposals.
A Patient Summit took place on Sunday, November 10 (registration required) and examined how refocusing conversations between doctors and their patients can lead to better diagnosis. The Summit will also highlight disparities and the role that age, race, ethnicity, and gender play in missed and delayed diagnosis. For the first time, the Patient Summit offered CME/CNE credit. Fees applied for those seeking CME/CNE.
DEM2019 is a self-accredited Patients Included Meeting. The conference is committed to upholding the values of Patients Included by incorporating the experience of patients as experts in living with their condition while ensuring they are neither excluded nor exploited.
