m3-4-orange-grayNext fall you will have the opportunity to participate in an exciting new conference, marking a new era in the 166-year history of the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS). The NCMS has partnered with the North Carolina Medical Group Management Association (NCMGMA) to launch a new educational conference, bringing together physicians, physician assistants and other health care providers along with medical group managers for three days of learning, inspiring discussions, networking and fostering the team mentality that is the future of health care. To emphasize the partnership between organizations and the collaborative nature of health care, the conference is titled “M3: Merging Medicine and Management.”

Save the date now — Sept. 15-18 for the M3 Conference at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro.

“The M3 Conference represents what is most relevant to our membership today,” said NCMS CEO Robert W. Seligson. “The fresh educational tracks at this meeting address the topics our members told us were of most concern to them. These are the crucial issues of our day in health care and this conference provides the forum for meaningful and robust dialogue. Partnering with the Medical Group Managers, an integral part of the transition health care is undergoing, will ensure a lively and vibrant atmosphere. I’m confident you’ll return to your practice recharged and ready to succeed in the rapidly changing health care landscape.”
The agenda will include a significant number of CME-accredited hours in educational tracks covering payment reform, health care innovations taking place in North Carolina now, work life balance issues, leadership training seminars, data management and opioid prescribing. Over the course of the conference, NCMS members may bring issues of concern to the Board of Directors at the NCMS Annual Meeting, which will include a business meeting, open dialogue on issues, the election of officers and the inauguration of the new NCMS President.
