SUMMARY:The Hippocratic Society Conference - Call for Abstracts: Hope In & For Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Burnout\, moral distress\, workforce shortages\, institutional pressures\, financial conflicts of interest\, professional creep\, intractable pain\, uncertain diagnoses… many forces in healthcare today feel overwhelming. Against such challenges\, individual action can seem futile. \nWhat can one clinician do to change a reimbursement structure? What can a student do in the face of entrenched institutional dysfunction? How do we pursue a more beautiful practice of medicine when time and clarity feel increasingly scarce? \nWe propose that healthcare today needs the virtue of Hope. \nHope acts now for the sake of a future good. It embraces uncertainty yet moves forward in the face of it. Hope envisions a better future aligned with medicine’s deepest commitments and sustains us as we work to build it\, especially when outcomes are not guaranteed. \nAt this year’s conference\, we will explore the virtue of Hope in medicine: \n\nHow can we cultivate hope with and for our patients\, colleagues\, and institutions?\nHow do we sustain hope in medical education and clinical formation?\nHow do we maintain hope in our own lives as clinicians and trainees?\nWhat is the good we seek\, and what practices help us persevere toward it?\nFor what and for whom are we hoping?\n\nWe welcome abstracts from physicians\, faculty\, trainees\, and students reflecting on Hope\, virtue\, clinical experience\, or any topic connected to the Hippocratic Society’s mission. See suggested topics below. \nAbstract Submissions  \nAbstracts can address the following format/presentations: \n\nResearch – Qualitative\, theoretical\, or educational research\nEssays/Narrative – Narrative medicine or philosophical/ethical exploration\nCreative Piece – Poetry\, short stories\, visual art\, audio/film\nWorkshop – Interactive sessions\, case discussions\, or virtue-related skill development\n\nAbstract should be 300-500 words and include 1-3 learning objectives. \nAll submissions are due by 11:59 pm on January 31st. \nSubmissions will be reviewed by our Conference Planning Committee\, and decisions will be returned by February 28th. \nPlease email contact@hippsoc.org with any questions. \nSubmit Here \nSuggested Topics  \nThemes Specifically Related to Hope \n\nHope as a virtue in clinical practice\nHope in medical training and formation\nSustaining hope amid uncertainty\, suffering\, and complexity\nHope and moral distress; hope and renewal\nHope for institutions\, communities\, and the future of medicine\n\nTopics Drawn from the Hippocratic Society’s Mission \n\nMoral and professional formation of clinicians\nCharacter development and the virtues of the good physician\nThe role of community\, mentorship\, and “moral friendship” in becoming a good clinician\nThe nature\, purpose\, and ends of medicine\nThe meaning of suffering\, illness\, healing\, and dying well\nGood clinical judgement (prudence) and its cultivation\nThe clinician-patient relationship\nChallenges of corporatization\, demoralization\, and the “provider” identity\nExperiences from Hippocratic Fora\, Symposia\, or chapter activities\n\nOther Eligible Topics \n\nNarrative accounts of clinicians or patients\nReflections on teaching virtue or ethics\nEducational innovation related to formation\nResearch for flourishing\, burnout\, moral injury\, purpose\, or medical culture
