ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

Join us for an inspiring and educational discussion at our inaugural Physician Wellness Symposium. In the demanding landscape of health care, it's easy for physicians to prioritize patient care over their own mental, emotional, and physical health. This symposium is designed to empower physicians with practical tools, insights, and strategies to cultivate resilience, find balance, and rediscover the joy in their noble profession.

*The Physician Wellness Symposium's full agenda is still in progress. We aim to finalize it in the coming weeks and will notify members with updates. Please stay tuned.
