Our previous two House Officer Summits focused on Health and Wellbeing (2022 in Chicago) and Mentorship (2023 at Ohio State). At our 2024 Summit we are addressing Patient Event Reporting and Creating a Culture of Psychological Safety. We have three keynote speakers who will share a wealth of information and experience in both human healthcare and veterinary medicine. Our keynote speakers are Dr. Albert Wu from Johns Hopkins, Dr. Jeff Glasheen from the University of Colorado Healthcare System, and Dr. Rochelle Low from Mars Veterinary Health.
