  • INSTRUCTIONS:

    Proposals deadline is December 1, 2026

    The proposed topic should identify with a conference track from the list below.

    Leadership and Professional Development - Submissions should seek to strengthen physician leadership capabilities through programming on advocacy, strategy, and decision making. Learning outcomes should enable physicians to gain practical tools and leadership strategies to benefit themselves, their practices, and the communities they serve.

    Physician Health and Wellness - This category features programming aimed at educating physicians on maintaining their well-being throughout their career. It may address topics such as stress; moral injury; physical, mental, and emotional health; and more. Learning outcomes should assist physicians in identifying and implementing tools and behaviors to improve well-being and avoid impairment.

    Population Health and Public Health - Programming should address high-priority public and/or population health issues. Sessions may address topics such as obesity, opioid use, human trafficking, cancer, maternal health, holistic medicine, and more. Learning outcomes should assist physicians in identifying and implementing tools and behaviors that will improve patient outcomes.

Learning outcomes should assist physicians in identifying and implementing solutions that will increase their practice viability and sustainability.  Programming for quality improvement should help improve patient care, making it more safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Learning outcomes should assist physicians in understanding and evaluating potential revenue (and/or penalties) in performance measurement programs using evidence-based standards.

    Specialty Trends and Updates Only select this track if you are a Specialty Society and holding your meeting during TexMed and your presentations can be slotted in one (1) hour blocks.  You may submit 3 proposals for a total of 3 CME hours. 

    If your specialty society programming is 4 or more hours, please email sue.mullen@texmed.org for more information on how to submit your activity. 

    Programming in this category aims to provide primary or family care physicians with updates on new and emerging trends in specialty care. Learning outcomes should assist general practitioners in recognizing and responding to symptoms or issues that may need specialty consult.
