Session Description:
Session Description: Given recent levels of adolescent health care provider moral distress, the SAHM Ethics and Legal SIG is pivoting to a related topic: Caring for self, family, practice, and patients in difficult times. We will discuss ethical issues that arise when best practice care for our patients is either sanctioned or made illegal. We encourage participants to share stories of positive actions they have taken for themselves, their patients, or their communities. These can be on the individual, local, state, or national level, and can range from self-care to practice adaptations to advocacy.

With special attention to balancing access to information via patient portals against confidentiality, the SIG meeting will allow an opportunity to: 1. share innovations developed at individual institutions and/or by EHR vendors, 2. discuss how to disseminate best practices to all SAHM members through delivery of workshops or institutes, 3. identify important topics for advocacy, including potential SAHM Position papers.

Session Description: This Special Interest Group (SIG) offers a platform for researchers and healthcare providers working with HIV-infected and at-risk adolescents and young adults to network and share experiences. The focus will be on empowering youth voices in the fight against HIV by discussing regional, national, and international activities impacting their care, as well as collaborative research, health policy, ethics, and advocacy. With young people continuing to be disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic, this SIG will highlight how clinicians, researchers, and local community partners can work together to improve outcomes for these populations. Emphasis will be placed on opportunities for youth voices to inform and shape clinical practice and research in the field, with participants encouraged to share and network on projects ranging from protocol development and quality improvement to various types of research.
