Happy New Year from all of us at Lettercase! We are looking forward to another year of developing and translating resources, carrying out new and exciting research, and providing training to providers and advocacy leaders. We are also excited to see and learn from the new and ongoing accomplishments of our Medical Outreach Meeting participants this year!
Every month, Lettercase hosts a Medical Outreach Meeting for leaders at Down Syndrome advocacy organizations. These meetings are typically held on the first Thursday of the month at 1pm ET. Thanks to the thoughtful ideas shared during our last Medical Outreach Meeting, we have a great list of meeting topics for 2025:
| Month | Medical Outreach Meeting Topic |
| January | How to apply for CMEs and CEUs for presentations or webinars |
| February | How to communicate with different cultural groups in your area and ways to take first steps |
| March | How to translate resources (e.g., to Haitian Creole) |
| April | How to communicate with different demographic groups in your area and ways to take first steps |
