The ACMS hosted its first of four peer-level events bringing physicians together for an honest, thoughtful conversation on boundaries and professional judgment.

Guided moderation helped surface not just what choices are made, but the how and why.

It’s ! On this day, thousands of medical students across the U.S. simultaneously learn their residency placements. Throughout the day ACMS will be highlighting members along with their stories.

Pictured: Meilin Young, MD & Chen Xu, MD. Dr. Young said they met in medical school and during orientation, their dean said “look to your left, look to your right, you might be sitting next to your soulmate.” And thanks to the alphabet, Young and Xu sat together on the first day and graduated together on the last. They are now married!
