AMWA’s first virtual meeting was held March 26-29, 2020 on a Zoom webinar platform. Over 450 attendees registered to attend the annual meeting which was composed of both enduring virtual modules as well as live, virtual sessions with plenary sessions, workshops, exhibitors, mentoring, annual awards, and over 100 poster presentations. Highlights of the meeting include keynotes by AMA President Dr. Patrice A. Harris, ACP EVP and CEO Dr. Darilyn V. Moyer, a plenary session on pandemics and physician reentry, the 3rd Annual Graduate Medical Education Symposium, and Meet the Faculty Q&A sessions using a flipped classroom model.
The flexible schedule accommodated busy schedules, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic while also engaging attendees across the nations to be connected during this challenging time. There were dedicated tracks for physicians, medical students, and premeds to address career needs at every stage.
For those who attended, the CME virtual modules will be available for the next year and can be accessed at any time. The virtual modules are also available to new attendees through the meeting WEBPAGE.
Mark your calendars for March 25-28, 2021 where we will convene in Indianapolis for AMWA’s 106th Anniversary Meeting.
