The 169th Annual ISMA Convention is Saturday through Sunday, Sept. 29-30. Here’s the latest on what you need to know.

Reserve your spot for TheHappyMD wellness workshop
Often, physicians and physicians-in-training forget to care for their most important patient: themselves. Our in-person interactive workshop by Dike Drummond, MD, of TheHappyMD.com, combines three of his most popular sessions on Friday Sept. 28, the day before ISMA's annual convention. Thanks to ISMA President John P. McGoff, MD, the first 20 medical students to sign up will be reimbursed for the $25 cost. Find more information and register here.
