Below is the schedule for past chats and the next few chats in reverse chronological order. Past dates are linked to chat transcripts (transcripts courtesy of Symplur, a website dedicated to following and tracking social media trends in healthcare). Topics are linked to #LCSM Chat blog posts about that topic. If a Wakelet recap of the chat is available (curated collection of tweets), its link appears in parentheses.
