Joy and Wholeness Summit Scholarship Awardee

The 2025 national Joy & Wholeness Summit, scheduled for July 23-25 in Asheville is a premier event dedicated to advancing the well-being of physicians, APPs, and healthcare teams.

This year’s Summit features dynamic plenary sessions, specialty tracks including “Women & Medicine,” “GME,” and “Well-Being Leadership”, and a “Focus on You” pre-track.

The Summit offers the Dr. Dianne McCallister Memorial Scholarship Program to increase accessibility for current GME residents and fellows to attend the conference.

Dr. Susan Roberts, a General Surgery Residents – PGY3, at East Carolina University recently won one of the McCallister Memorial Scholarships based on her demonstrated interest and involvement in activities that align with physician and APP well-being and mental health. Dr. Roberts is a current NC Medical Society Advanced Healthcare Leaders Scholar, a DO that graduated from Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Colorado, and a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve.

She is looking forward to her upcoming research year, where she will spend it doing research in the Trauma and General Surgery Departments, getting her MBA, progressing through the NCMS Advanced Healthcare Leaders Program, and serving as the President for RAMOPS, the Resident subset of the Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons.

Congratulations Susan!
