Our Current Projects
Goal: To reimburse the Executive Chair of the FEWG for his time allocated to meet with IH, physicians, stakeholders etc. regarding the FE activities.

Goal: Grand rounds meetings have been effectively used to disseminate local knowledge from the specialist to the generalist. However, nobody organizes such meetings at SLGH. Having Ground Rounds meeting on a regular basis would provide opportunity for specialists or generalists to be able to answer common referral questions with the goal of easier or more direct referrals in the future.
Objectives:1. Provide financial support to lead physician to organize meetings;2. Cover expenses for catering and admin support;3. Cover expenses for speakers' time to do presentation
