100 Words: SMA President Dr. David Netscher’s August Message

Southern Medical Association (SMA) is your professional organization. It is the complete package for your professional needs. I hope the Annual Assembly will be your meeting this year. One meeting will provide you with 15.5 hours of CME filled with practical and scientific multidisciplinary information and will include 1.25 hours of pain management and opioid use, 8.25 hours of patient safety and 3.0 hours of medical ethics and physician well-being. Additional CME hours are available by registering for the preconference POCUS Bootcamp on Thursday. Learn, connect, share ideas, strengthen practice, and register for the SMA Annual Scientific Assembly in November.

David Netscher, MD
SMA President, 2025-2026
