Welcome to New Orleans

 

We are excited to see all of you at the 2019 NMPRA National Conference! We were excited to see so many of you in Orlando last year, and we have even higher hopes for this year’s meeting in New Orleans! The NMPRA conference is open to medical students, residents, and faculty alike. There will be poster presentations, case presentations, panels, awards, and a keynote speaker. It is a time to reflect on how far we’ve come as a field, network with like-minded individuals, reconnect with friends and colleagues, and help forge the future of Med-Peds. We cannot wait to see you all there, please reach out with any questions!
