Physician Event | Primary Care: A Matter of the Heart and Mind

When you decided to become a Primary Care doctor, it was more than just a smart career decision. It was a matter of the heart and mind. Not only are your heart and mind integral parts of the body to keep it alive, but it is what strikes the passion to keep us motivated.

But as years pass, that motivation starts to dwindle and fray. Even as young residents, you’re not even sure if this is the right path in medicine. Learn how to re-ignite the passion once again.

Join us for an online discussion about how building bonds with your patients can keep the focus of your head and heart more alive than ever before.
