WSMA Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting of the WSMA House of Delegates (or the WSMA Annual
Meeting) is the WSMA's premier policymaking event, when the voting members
of the WSMA House of Delegates gather to debate and determine policy for
the association, elect officers, and network with colleagues. All are
welcome to attend the WSMA Annual Meeting and take advantage of the
educational offerings, network, and learn more about the association.
Keynote Presentation
This year, we’ll welcome keynote speaker Sara Tamarin, MD, a physician and
professional coach who helps health care professionals build agency,
clarity, and sustainability in their careers. In her presentation, Strong
Enough to Soften: Redefining Resilience in Times of Rapid Change, she
reframes resilience not as grit or silent endurance, but as a practice of
emotional clarity, sustainable boundaries, and self-compassion. Drawing on
her work coaching hundreds of clinicians, she shares mindset tools and
real-world strategies that help clinicians navigate uncertainty, reclaim
their energy, and protect their ability to serve patients well—not by
sacrificing themselves, but by honoring their own humanity, too.
AI in Clinical Medicine Conference
New this year: Join us one day before the Annual Meeting for the AI in
Clinical Medicine Conference, a full day of learning and engagement on
Friday, Sept. 19, also at The Westin Bellevue. We’re excited to welcome
keynote speaker Peter Lee, president of Microsoft Research for this deep
dive into how AI is being used, and will be used in the future, in health
care.
Learn more about the conference here.
