Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for The Generalists in Medical Education (TGME) annual conference.

NEW THIS YEAR!   We're growing, so we’ve extended our conference to include events on Wednesday.

Dates:  Wednesday, November 4 through Friday, November 6, 2026.

Location:  Anaheim, CA

Theme:  New Teams for New Times: Collective Wisdom in Medical Education 

Times of widespread change require forming new kinds of teams. As the landscape of healthcare shifts beneath our feet driven by rapid technological integration, evolving patient needs, and a global emphasis on health equity the traditional silos of medical education are no longer sufficient. To meet the challenges of tomorrow, we must move beyond the "individual expert" model and embrace the power of the collective.

The Generalists in Medical Education conference is where health professions educators and students from across the United States and other countries gather to make connections, share ideas, grow professionally, and discover solutions to challenges in teaching and learning.

Our theme this year, New Teams for New Times: Collective Wisdom in Medical Education, is a call to action for educators, practitioners, students, and researchers. It is an invitation to explore how we can intentionally design teams that bridge disciplines, hierarchies, and geographies to foster a more resilient and innovative learning environment.

You are invited to submit a proposal for this year’s conference. It will provide a forum to share your educational research and innovations.

The Generalists in Medical Education offer a variety of proposal and presentation formats:

a) Round Table Discussions

b) Descriptive Sessions

c) Ignite Presentations

d) Panel Discussions

e) Problem-Solving Sessions

f) Skill Acquisition Sessions

g) NEW THIS YEAR! Traditional Poster Session

h) NEW THIS YEAR! “Blue Sky” Interactive Poster Session

To ensure a diverse program, an individual can only be lead author/presenter on ONE accepted proposal.

However, individuals can be supporting authors on up to three accepted proposals. Authors cannot be added after acceptance of proposal.

More information, including a Proposal Tip Sheet, is available on the TGME website: https://thegeneralists.org/

Proposals must be submitted electronically no later than 11:59 pm EST on May 17, 2026.
