This fall, the MMA is launching Medicine Together, a new longitudinal peer connection experience designed specifically for physicians. The program will bring a small cohort of MMA member physicians together for facilitated conversation, reflection, and practical peer support over approximately 12 weeks.
Medicine Together is not a wellness lecture or one-time webinar. It is a physician-led, small-group experience built around trust, continuity, and honest conversation. Participants will have the opportunity to step away from the pace of daily practice, connect with colleagues across specialties and settings, reflect on what sustains meaning in medicine, and build relationships that can continue beyond the program itself.
The inaugural cohort will be led by Mark Greenawald, MD, founder of PeerRx and a nationally recognized leader in physician peer support, and Corey Martin, MD, founder of the Bounce Back Project and Innovations in Resilience, and a nationally recognized facilitator of physician well-being, resilience, and connection.
The program begins with a half-day in-person kickoff on Friday, September 25, at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, followed by six facilitated virtual sessions held every other week through December, and is eligible for 13 CME credits. The cohort will be limited to 25 physicians to preserve the small-group experience.
For physicians who are looking for meaningful connection, renewed purpose, and a confidential space to reflect with peers, Medicine Together offers a new opportunity to do that work in community.
Registration closes September 7. Early-bird registration pricing of $795 is available through July 31. Click here to learn more about the course content or to register for Medicine Together.
