Introducing The Shield Summit

When you took the Hippocratic Oath and promised to “first, do no harm”, you embraced a life of servitude and dedication to the care of others. However, at that early stage of your career, you may not have anticipated the effort required to balance all the additional challenges that a life in medicine may bring to your doorstep. 

SVMIC has always been an advocate for physicians. For nearly 5 decades, SVMIC has been educating physicians and their staff on a wide variety of topics in various formats. For the first time in the company’s educational journey, SVMIC is offering The Shield Summit. 

Recognizing that a career in medicine extends beyond practicing medicine and caring for patients, The Shield Summit is designed with the physician and their spouse or partner in mind. While exceptional patient care is at the core of practicing medicine, the work of a physician encompasses so much more. Managing a successful practice can present unique challenges for a physician, including the ongoing effort to balance work and family life, the worry about potential lawsuits and avoiding risk, the leadership roles you assume—whether by choice or not—, your reputation within the community, delivering quality care, and countless other responsibilities. The Shield Summit will provide an opportunity to escape for a few days with your loved one to one of the most exciting cities in the Southeast, to network with other physicians and their spouses, and dig deep into things you might not get an opportunity to focus on in your day-to-day. With panel discussions featuring physicians and their spouses sharing insights on a life in medicine, presentations from physicians who have survived a medical malpractice lawsuit, DiSC* analysis to help you better understand and refine your leadership style, and several sessions dedicated to the business side of medicine, you will certainly leave The Shield Summit with new connections and new tools to support your personal growth in the practice of medicine.

SVMIC’s commitment to protect physicians includes offering educational opportunities, fostering safe and collaborative learning spaces, and building a community to support physicians who are invested in their personal and professional development, as well as the development of their partners. The Shield Summit is exactly that. Earn up to 10.5 CME credits and join us on October 18-19, 2024. We look forward to meeting you there!
