ACDIS update: Share your CDI story in a ‘Meet a Member’ feature!

ACDIS is currently looking for members to feature in upcoming ACDIS “Meet a Member” articles and we’d love to have you participate if you haven’t already!

“Meet a Member” articles are formatted as a simple, informal interview (paired with photos, of course!) that allows you to share your CDI story with the broader ACDIS community. Because these are straightforward and informal, the interviews are generally conducted over email, allowing you to fill out the questionnaire on your own time.

Once the ACDIS editorial team receives a completed questionnaire, they will format the article for publication and send it back to the contributor for review and sign off prior to publication.

To submit your story, simple copy/paste and answer the questions below in an email and send it to ACDIS Editor Jess Fluegel (jess.fluegel@hcpro.com) and Associate Editor Joshua Raposa (joshua.raposa@hcpro.com). And please make sure to include a few photos to publish alongside your feature—we like to make these personal!

We look forward to reading about your CDI journey!
