GIM Faculty:

As you are aware from the recent GIM Vision document that was circulated to all faculty, one of the identified goals was "Reach", with an agreed upon strategy to consistently identify ourselves as being from the Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine (+ our other affiliations, such as Denver Health, Denver VA, Presbyterian/St. Lukes, etc). In order to facilitate this consistent identity and "branding", we have developed PowerPoint and poster templates for your use - to the left column. Ideally all GIM faculty will use these templates when presenting at local, regional and national meetings.

Thank you!
