Our Live Events

Medical education conferences provide one of the most dynamic and exciting environments for physicians, resident physicians, student physicians and other medical professionals to learn, gain new skills, share ideas, socialize, and network. We kindly ask all attendees to be respectful of the time and space of all other conference attendees, including conference presenters and residency program directors. While we understand opportunities to network face-to-face have become more challenging to find due to recent world events, the top priority of our medical education conference is to provide an excellent environment in which all attendees can obtain new knowledge and skills.  We provide multiple social events including a student/residency program meet and greet.  (please see the conference schedule for dates, times & location). We hope you will take part in these great opportunities for networking and socializing with other attendees.  Check out our upcoming meetings
