Connecting through shared experience.
This CME retreat offers a different kind of learning experience. We are both the learners and the leaders; the hurt and the healers; the inspired and the inspiration.
Come together
Great Beginnings
Is this opportunity for you?
Do you find as a woman and physician that you are often too busy to get a clear perspective on yourself; your career, your family, your community, and your own health? Perhaps you once knew, but now wonder if you have wandered off course...
Come join us
Through Our Own Eyes Retreat offers a unique opportunity for us to reflect within the context of our roles as women and as physicians; on our careers, our work-life balance, our personal health and our place in the health of our communities/patients/family.
