JOWMA is excited to announce our fourth annual conference: "Medicine in Times of Crisis."

Join us for the fourth JOWMA Conference, the only gathering of its kind! Every year, JOWMA's conference includes 300+ physicians and trainees under one roof for a day of learning uniquely tailored to the interests of our members.

While we all aspire to serve our patients during times of peace, the landscape of medicine undergoes significant changes in moments of turmoil. Over the past few years, public health has witnessed the repercussions of numerous infectious disease outbreaks as well as the war in Israel causing a strain on both internal and external systems within American healthcare.

This year's conference is designed to equip our physicians and trainees with vital information necessary to support their patients during crises. The schedule includes discussions on intergenerational trauma across different life stages, women's health in the military, firsthand accounts from doctors on the ground in Israel, and a myriad of other pertinent topics.

This year's conference is CME accredited by New York Medical College. All attendees will receive 5 CME credits.
