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.
It has been my privilege to interview several featured Scientific Assembly speakers, who likewise emphasize multidisciplinary care. Preview Dr. John Elfar’s “Interdisciplinary Collaboration Improves Clinical Outcomes” and “Get Out of Your Lane”, plus Dr. John Fowler’s introductory ultrasound presentation, then watch the full videos today.
SMA’s Annual Scientific Assembly this November in Houston further promotes connectedness through education and networking, featuring talks on sarcopenia prevention, nutritional supplements, sports psychology, and “Going for the Gold” through diversity, collaboration, and collegiality.
I invite you to register and explore podcasts featuring Olympian and sports psychologist Lennie Waite and Joseph Maroon, neurosurgeon and researcher in concussion and dementia.
For about $500, you could purchase a Bluetooth headset, a virtual reality headset, smart AI glasses, a laptop, wireless printer, or a good dinner for four. Or, as a physician, you could maintain SMA membership for $320 and attend SMA’s Annual Scientific Assembly for $175.
This November, SMA’s Annual Assembly in Houston, Texas, brings together innovation, inspiration, and education for every stage of practice.
Congratulations to Dr. Donald DiPette, the new Editor-in-Chief of the Southern Medical Journal.
After a century of specialization and hyperspecialization, I believe medicine has come full circle. Quality is improved by specialized knowledge, but no one person can hold all responsibility.
I am pleased to provide my first installment of monthly “100 words”, to provide timely updates, highlight member achievements, thank all who work tirelessly for our SMA community, and to engage our membership.
