What is the Spring General Meeting?

Join the conversation, get involved — we want to hear from you!

The CMSC 2025 places an emphasis on medical education, healthcare advocacy and communities of practice. Each day will be highly engaging filled with keynote speakers, panels, small group discussions, activities, partner booths, networking opportunities, and more!
