Highlights
What an honor to hear from Dr. Kimberly Manning at the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation annual meeting. From storytelling to making meaningful connections to admitting when we are wrong... Such an inspiring day and so much to reflect upon!
"Every ending is a new beginning." Many thanks to Sarah Wood and Holly Gooding, MD, MSc for their wise words and leadership over this incredible week at the Harvard Macy Institute.
Beyond knowledge and skills - the time for self-reflection, growing through feedback, and meeting kindred spirits (my fellow med ed nerds) made for such a valuable experience over the past 8 months.
Thanks to the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation for their generous support, to OPENPediatrics for a fun and informative tour, and to my family and Children's National Hospital colleagues for the space this week to make this a meaningful experience. #HMIcommunity #HMIeducators
