 Purpose and Objectives: The Annual Scientific Assembly is the Southern Medical Association’s premier educational event. The Assembly enables physicians to practice the highest standards of medicine by fostering professional development and economic
stability through education, services, collegiality, and leadership across multiple specialties.
The Assembly offers a multifaceted curriculum of activities for participants. You can enhance your clinical skills, explore practice
performance issues, present your own research and clinical experience, benefit from new and emerging techniques, participate in peer-directed sessions addressing specialty and interdisciplinary topics, and interact with nationally renowned experts.
In addition to lectures, case presentations and workshops, the Assembly provides a forum for interacting and mentoring among
physicians, exchanging clinical information, and participating in scientific sessions and poster presentations.
Target Audience: Physicians (MDs, and DOs) in all specialties, as well as residents and medical students. Other members of the healthcare team including physician assistants, licensed nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and practice managers may also benefit from attending the meeting.
