NOT your typical medical conference!
Our conference-retreat has been designed BY physicians and clinicians FOR clinicians, specifically to offer a unique combination of wellness and relaxation with art and self-reflection, to help rejuvenate and combat stress and burnout. To that end, your registration includes our 8 Core CME Sessions (16 CME credits), daily yoga, breakfast, lunch, and you may add as many of our other activities as you choose! Our Core Sessions are finished by lunch so that the afternoon is open for you to decide what you want or need to do. We have many suggestions and offerings that we are happy to help arrange for you (even transportation!) We have several evening CME events that are designed to offer education as well as an amazing art experience in Santa Fe. We have also hand selected a small group of exhibitors & consultants that are available for you to visit in the afternoons, at your discretion, to assist with additional life stressors that affect many clinicians. We aim to give you a space for restoration, some fun and pampering, and also insight and tools for whichever future path you decide is yours!
You can also register a spouse or non-clinician friend to attend many of our incredible afternoon and evening events!
