Although it's fantastic that non-clinical folks have access to such amazing information, as a physician, I had trepidation joining the conference thinking this would result in not being high yield and too basic. However, I am very impressed at high yield speakers and how much I have learned! I am a HUGE advocate for patient education and am happy to see that the speakers were high caliber and translated academic jargon and complex scientific analysis that comes with traditional clinician conferences without diluting the information and maintaining clinical detail with nuance into something all could digest and benefit from. As a result, this created high yield lectures with substance that made it easier for a physician outside the field of expertise to capture. Simultaneously, the lectures provided the non-clinicians deeper understanding of the great evidence based information so they can understand their medical challenges better and allow for more productive discussions with their clinicians about their health. It also gave me ideas to explain complex information in a way a patient can understand more easily. Finally, the different ticket categories made it affordable and accessible to a larger audience. Thank you SoMeDocs! I am looking forward to more of these conferences.
