On behalf of the DMPG Executive Board, I would like to welcome everyone to the DMPG Annual Retreat Week.

We’ll start the week with exciting noon-time virtual sessions on a variety of topics ranging from equity, diversity, and inclusion in the UCLA Department of Medicine (DoM), billing tips & tricks, CareConnect to Coaching Takeaways. I will lead a talk discussing our CME days and how to use a Z account for CME costs. 

On Saturday, March 23, we invite you to please join us for an in person session of the DMPG Retreat at the Luskin Conference Center on the UCLA campus in Westwood. This is a unique opportunity for hundreds of our DoM faculty — from San Luis Obispo to Laguna Hills to come together and take part in a fantastic program that includes a number of different sessions and workshops that we’re confident you’ll enjoy. Please remember that you may request to utilize your education time to block clinic to offset the time you spend at the in person Saturday retreat. 

I am proud and honored to serve as the DMPG President this year and hope to see you at the retreat!
