• SSTRIDE Alumni Conference

 Six CME Credits Approved Event by the Medical Educational Council of Pensacola (MECOP)

In honor of SSTRIDE's 30th anniversary, we are sponsoring a leadership conference hosted by our alums who have transformed healthcare through medicine and other professions. With various workshops and panels focused on expanding healthcare through an interdisciplinary approach, the SSTRIDE Leadership Conference will be bringing together alums who will present topics on cardiovascular risks, leadership and professionalism in medicine, death and dying: a clinical perspective on the finality of life, obesity, and lifestyle medicine, motivational interviewing, becoming financially independent as a healthcare professional, mentoring gaps, addressing healthcare provider burnout: interventions to promote wellness, CME professional development, and much more.

EVENT

The agenda will bring two dynamic keynote sessions, multiple health and medical sessions, engaging panel discussions, networking opportunities, and an interactive research fair where attendees can host a poster session on any topic within their field. The conference will culminate with a banquet dinner with a special keynote address featuring Thesla Anderson, SSTRIDE’s Founder, an alumni spotlight segment acknowledging the accomplishments of each of our alumni in the medical, public health, STEM, and other related fields.

Who should attend?

SSTRIDE Alumni Physicians, Residents, Medical, Premedical, Prehealth, and Pre-PA students, and Other Healthcare and STEM Professionals.

CME Credits Available!
