SMFM All Fellows Mini Retreat
All MFM fellows (1st, 2nd, and 3rd year fellows) are invited to SMFM’s 5th Annual Fellows Mini Retreat on Friday, February 7. Starting this year, this retreat will combine the agendas of the Associate Members Meeting and the 2nd/3rd year fellows’ retreat, and is open for all current fellows to attend. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with other fellows and interact with MFMs in private and academic practice. You will have the opportunity to attend breakout sessions regarding topics such as “finding your first job after fellowship,” “how to be financially prepared after training,” and “what skills do I need in my toolbox to succeed after fellowship?” In addition, the Associate Member Representatives election results and the recipient of the annual AJP Best Fellow Paper Award will be announced. Please join your colleagues for conversation and refreshments. Food and beverage sponsored by HCA.
