🎉SOHHA will be displaying its first research poster at a conference!🎉
Megan, one of our Society of Hospital & Healthcare System-Based Acupuncturists (SOHHA) board members, will be attending the 2025 Society of Acupuncture Research (SAR) conference to present a poster about research that SOHHA’s Employment Practices Workgroup is supporting this year. #SAR2025CA is the conference social sharing tag.
At SOHHA, we recognize research literacy is an essential set of KSAs for healthcare system-based practice and communication.
At SOHHA, we recognize research literacy is an important set of KSAs for healthcare system-based practice and communication. We provide support structures for this, including a private community discussion space for discussing relevant research articles in the field. We also recommend resources for practicing research literacy, including many hosted by Evidence Based Acupuncture (EBA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We also recommend attending a SAR conference when you are able. SAR conferences are hosted in the U.S. every 2 years. Megan has attended several SAR conferences over the last decade. This will be her second SAR conference representing some of SOHHA’s work. At the 2023 SAR conference, she and Ryan Davenport presented on the topic of team-based care as healthcare system-based acupuncturists.
If you are attending the 2025 SAR conference, please stop by our poster session on Thursday to say hello or send us an encouraging conference message anytime via the button below.
Info about SOHHA’s Team Care presentation resources we presented at the 2023 SAR conference and the notes and photos shared by community who attended that conference are still available in our community discussion space. I’ll link to it in the button below. This discussion space is on our learning platform.
🎉SOHHA’s Research Poster Will be Displayed on Thursday at the Conference😊
On Thursday, April 3rd, 2025, Megan will be tacking up SOHHA’s research poster that was accepted for presentation at the Society of Acupuncture Research (SAR) conference. She also plans to be standing near the poster during the scheduled poster display sessions that day. This is a tradition at this research conference to display all the research posters in the same area throughout the day. Then, they have scheduled times during the day when presenters are standing near their poster to talk about or discuss their poster with fellow conference attendees.
In anticipation of the poster display, Megan added a QR code to the SOHHA poster that links to a webpage on this website, providing more information about the work being presented. This landing page on our website can be updated over time as we make progress on this project.
Follow us virtually at the Conference if you cannot attend in-person.
Megan plans to post more about her experience at the SAR conference and what she learns, including information about our poster, in our community learning platform (see button below) under the topic “Research.” This topic group is available to all levels of learning platform subscribers.
She may (or maybe) will post some highlights on our SOHHA LinkedIn page. To see possible posts, check out our LinkedIn page. And, the conference hashtag to follow is #SAR2025CA
Will you support our nonprofit’s work with a couple of cups of coffee/tea/cocoa/lemonade today?☕🍵🍋
Presenting our nonprofit’s work at in-person conferences is one of our nonprofit’s biggest expenses.
Due to the significant outgoing costs, we limit the number of in-person conferences we can attend each year, based on our budget. However, our community has consistently reported to us that attending or even presenting at conferences is an important way to disseminate information about our work at the Society of Hospital & Healthcare System-Based Acupuncturists, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by volunteers.
How do your donations or learning platform subscriptions support this work?
Your donations and learning platform subscriptions help us cover our basic operating costs. Your donations can also help us cover specific project costs, such as this conference poster presentation showcasing our Employment Practices Workgroup’s work on the Healthcare System-Based Acupuncturists Employment Practices Data Survey Project. We are an all-volunteer organization, so we create our posters using software to which we have (paid) subscriptions. We work with print shops to print our posters, etc. Additionally, attending this conference and similar events also incurs costs.
Thank you for your support, whether it is a virtual cup of coffee while we present our work at a conference or the carafes of sustenance it takes to prepare for events like this. 😊☕
