Metro-Wide Resident & Fellow Story Slam 2019

On November 13, 2019, MMCGME gathered nearly 375 physician trainees and faculty at BlackStack Brewing for food, drink, and more importantly, to hear their colleagues share emotional stories of wisdom, bravery, insight, and vulnerability.  In its second iteration, this event aimed to establish connection and community between the MMCGME Community physician-trainees. 

Special thanks to Jon Hallberg for generously hosting the event and to Heather Woeste for capturing photos of the event.
