Metro-Wide Resident & Fellow Story Slam
October 23, 2018 - 6:30-9 pm @ Surly Brewing

This event was developed by the MMCGME Board's Resident Well Being Committee of physician educators to promote trainee wellness and connectedness via a metro-wide intra-speciality Moth-Inspired storytelling event focused on connection.

Thank you to the storytellers who shared at this event!  Your stories are vulnerable, brave, inspiring, and above all -  very similar to your colleagues' stories.
