Education Conference

April 14, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, Madison

The Wisconsin Medical Society and Foundation (WisMed) are committed to increasing health equity and access and supporting a strong and diverse physician workforce. Because of this, WisMed created a task force for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) to positively influence our advocacy and programming in recognition that our diversity makes us stronger. The task force aims to identify and address the effects of racism and other inequities upon our members, our profession and our patients, and has developed this conference's curriculum for physicians and other health care professionals to increase their knowledge on these subjects.

Discounted CME registration is available for WisMed members! Contact education@wismed.org to get your coupon code.
