About NYC RING Convocation of Practices The NYC RING Convocation of Practices is an annual gathering of clinicians, researchers, and investigators from across our network of partner sites. This event showcases the wide variety of practice-based research and quality improvement activities being conducted across our network. Convocation is an excellent opportunity for NYC clinicians, researchers, and scholars to connect, share ideas, and discuss future collaboration. Convocation Day 2024 On October 29th, approximately 150 attendees representing a diverse range of disciplines, specialties, and organizations gathered for the 2024 NYC RING Convocation of Practices. Each of the 43 presentations showcased meaningful work to improve health outcomes and patient care delivery in the Bronx and greater New York City communities. These presentations provided valuable insights into the complex challenges we face and offered potential pathways to impactful solutions. Thank you to all who participated in making Convocation Day a success. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the formation of NYC RING! Click below to view the photo gallery.
