Consider this Your Proactive Invitation

With the narrative in healthcare being constantly steered by political and social influences, the apolitical Southern Medical Association believes the quality of patient care can be exponentially improved by a simple (and very Southern) concept...communication and relationship.
Now, more than ever, there is a need for actively engaged physicians, committed to improving the quality of care for their patients through practical, wellness-based measures. These measures would ultimately be aimed at proactively preventing, rather than reactively attempting to eliminate, disease or complication.
In addition, the meeting will feature topics designed to improve medical-team morale, fight against burnout and encourage proactive wellness and communication at every level of medical education and practice.
