Why Attend?

Clinicians and health care leaders continue to face well‑documented challenges related to well‑being, leadership behaviors, practice environment design, and the responsible use of innovation and technology. The 2026 JIMI Symposium addresses these gaps by moving beyond high‑level inspiration to focus on how change actually happens in real clinical and health system settings.

Through plenary conversations, applied strategy spotlights, role‑based interactive labs, and interprofessional discussion, participants will explore evidence‑informed approaches and leave with concrete tools and strategies they can use immediately within their own teams, roles, and practice environments.

The symposium emphasizes translation from insight to action—equipping participants with clear frameworks, tested practices, and leadership behaviors that can be implemented within real‑world clinical, operational, and organizational constraints.
