There's no guarantee of financially breaking even, let alone making enough money to pay for all the staff time and other expenses that go into presenting such an event. Thankfully, AHMA had an edge this year. Read more

If you attended the AHMA/AAEM conference on Fatigue, you know what a phenomenal experience it was. It seemed like the energy just kept rising higher and higher during the course of the week (which is a very good thing when it is a conference on fatigue!)
By the last few days, multiple people enthusiastically told me how much they were loving the conference, that they had learned more and had made more new friends than at any conference they had been to in years. Read more

Holistic
Medicine
And You Need Each Other
|
 You know why you joined AHMA. You know why you practice medicine as you do. More and more, people - your patients - are looking for the integrative, holistic approach to managing their health. At each AHMA retreat, we realize that you, as well as each member, need one another to remain whole, healthy, and able to help others. AHMA doesn't have chapters in every state, however, we want to help you connect with like-minded professionals whenever and wherever possible. So please, help us help you. If you want to start a chapter in your area, please contact Steve Cadwell; bookmark our calendar and check it often to find helpful events and opportunities to earn CMEs or other applicable education credits. To place events on our calendar that others might benefit from, send an email to Claudia. Thanks for helping us connect you with other members!
