A new virtual monthly symposium was developed to support a sense of community among the clinically oriented health psychologists at Duke Health who practice primarily in medical or surgical clinics, as well as to coordinate continuing educational opportunities for this unique group of healthcare providers. Using evaluation theory for new curriculum, a participant survey was designed to assess satisfaction, impact, and changes to patient care. Results revealed that participants enjoyed the opportunity for learning, connection with colleagues, increased familiarity with resources, seeing expert clinicians navigate clinical challenges, and professional renewal. Respondents also provided examples of changes to their clinical practice as a result of attendance and suggestions for future topics that could be included in the symposium curriculum.
