What is the Annual Conference?
National Medical Association
Region I
May 26-30th, 2022
NMA Region I welcomes you to our Annual Conference. This event is an opportunity for our region to come together in a day of workshops and learning. We welcome medical students, residents, and attendings to participate.
This year's conference will be hybrid and will be held at Half Moon Hotel, Montego Bay, Jamaica. Throughout the day there will be speakers, workshops, and so much more. We will address issues affecting physicians of color such as burnout and how to focus on physician wellness. Attendees will be able to find resources for provider wellness through coaching, wellness practices, and participating in supportive communities in or outside of health care. Attendees will also explore and learn about opportunities that providers have and can create to support themselves and the varieties of meaningful ways that providers can participate in, in addition to direct care to improve care and eradicate racially disparate outcomes. Lastly, attendees will learn to assess specific leadership styles and adjustments that can mitigate and resolve burnout in leadership. Learn to negotiate control of our labor, workload, and pace. Please join us for a day of instruction and leadership as we continue to build ourselves as activists in NMA.
