The 18th Annual Summit on Improving Patient Care in the Office Practice and the Community, taking place in Orlando, Florida, on April 20–22, 2017, brings together more than 800 thought leaders from around the globe in an intimate and dynamic conference. The Summit offers special opportunities for students, residents, and faculty: scholarships, special workshops, and storyboard presentations. The deadline to submit a storyboard or scholarship application is Wednesday, March 1.

In an opinion piece for Stat News, Dr. Lawrence Schlachter, the author of a book on malpractice, writes that medical culture encourages doctors to avoid responsibility.
