As physicians we are held to a higher standard than the rest of the population - as we should be. However, we must all be reminded of the simple fact that we are people too - men and women subject to the same emotions, challenges, and adversities that all of us are. When you realize how quickly everything can fall apart it makes you never want to give up anything good. I invite you on a professional and deeply personal journey of lessons learned in an effort to inspire you to always be mindful of what is meaningful at the bedside and in life - why "C" should always come first.
The purpose of these events are to promote community and friendship among colleagues during Scientific Assembly over a delicious meal. F3 meal events will consist of 6-12 people and are planned by the AAEM wellness committee. Individuals are responsible for their own meal expenses. Meal locations and formal registration will be available soon. Check back soon for more information!
