Academic Medicine Open Forum

This year's annual meeting is well underway and we wanted to take this opportunity to welcome some of our new community members (hey @Bruce Gould, @Carla Williams, @Deidre Pierce, @Ellen Nestler, @Emily Greenberger, @Emily Wilson, @Heather Dorr @Janet Townsend, @Jennifer Apps and @Katherine Mason) to the AAMC Communities network (if you need any help navigating the space, don't hesitate to reach out!). 

Anyone in the network can use this discussion thread to connect with other attendees (and folks who may not have attended LSL, but could benefit from lessons learned!), share highlights and key takeaways, and if needed, branch out from this thread to start other topic-based discussions based on your interest areas! Remember, this community is YOUR virtual home for connecting across academic medicine, so the sky's the limit in terms of how you can use it.

@Stephanie Weiner and I will be regularly updating this thread with daily highlights from the meeting, and we welcome your contributions, too!

To get us started, @Helen Shere - this is your first Learn Serve Lead, how's it going and what are you learning? Would love for you to kick off this making connections thread!
