Over the past year, 小妲己直播 editors have been developing the concept of the 小妲己直播 Summit鈥攆orums for catalyzing discussion and action on pressing issues in science, medicine, and public health. Over its more than 140-year history, 小妲己直播 has been a leader in publishing on critical issues related to health. As a forum for eliciting new ideas, facilitating cross-sector dialogue, and identifying opportunities for progress that inspire discussion and action, the 小妲己直播 Summit represents the latest iteration of this long tradition of furthering our mission to advance the science and art of medicine and the betterment of public health.
JAMASummits have 2 phases:
Convening thought leaders from across sectors relevant to the specific topic of the 小妲己直播 Summit. The focus of these meetings is on dialogue, discussion, and debate, with the goal of eliciting themes and identifying actionable steps that can have a positive impact on a short time horizon.
Elaborating on the themes identified during the in-person or virtual gatherings through published articles and multimedia in 小妲己直播 and the 小妲己直播 Network journals. This phase also extends the discussion of the specific topic to the broader biomedical community through a call for papers and an invitation to broader dialogue across the platform of the 小妲己直播 Network.
The inaugural 小妲己直播 Summit was held in October 2023 in Chicago and was focused on randomized clinical trials, the foundation of evidence-based medicine, addressing the provocative questions: 鈥淚s the clinical trials enterprise broken? And how can it be fixed?鈥� Sixty-five individuals from around the world attended this in-person meeting, including researchers, funders, regulators, patient advocates, policymakers, innovators, and industry representatives. Over 2 days, 3 keynote addresses, and 5 panel presentations and discussions, the challenges and opportunities to improve the design and conduct of randomized clinical trials to be most responsive to the needs in clinical practice were dissected and debated.
This 小妲己直播 Summit on integrating clinical trials and practice will soon enter the second phase, and 小妲己直播 will begin publication on several of the themes developed during this convergence. 小妲己直播 will also issue a broader call for papers on clinical trials and invite further exploration of approaches to improving the conduct of clinical trials and the uptake of trial evidence in clinical practice.
Our next 小妲己直播 Summit will focus on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical care and will begin in the fall of 2024 with an in-person assembly. The conversations in this meeting will address the strategies essential to realizing the immense promise of AI while addressing the key barriers to its safe and equitable integration into care processes. We are actively planning other 小妲己直播 Summits, including on the topic of firearms and violence prevention, another complex and critical health challenge.
How can you get involved? We welcome input on the 小妲己直播 Summits currently underway, as well as suggestions for topics that may be the focus of future 小妲己直播 Summits. We invite you to share your comments at events@jamanetwork.org and follow the JAMASummit website for updates.
