This past year has brought remarkable achievements and lasting memories. As the founder of Physicians Working Together (PWT) and National Physicians Week, I am proud to reflect on how far we've come. Since 2016, we’ve dedicated National Physicians Week from March 25 to 31 to honor doctors nationwide, expanding the tradition beyond Doctors Day on March 30. This expansion was a labor of love, a commitment to recognizing the invaluable contributions of my colleagues across the country.
This year’s theme, #MedicineandMorein2024, celebrated the resilience, diverse talents, and unity within our medical community. Together, we are shaping a future that values both medicine and the well-being of those who practice it.
Celebrating Talent and Creativity
During National Physicians Week, we brought together medical students and physicians from across the country to celebrate their journeys. Our Medical Student Scholarship Contest highlighted incredible talents, with submissions ranging from music to creative arts. These inspiring performances are now featured in our Medical Student Scholarship Contest Playlist, shining a light on the passion and artistry within the medical community.
Supporting the Next Generation of Doctors
We’re passionate about supporting the next generation of doctors. Since launching our scholarship program in 2019, we’ve proudly awarded scholarships to nine medical students who embody the promise, dedication, and compassion that the future of medicine needs. This year, we celebrated three inspiring winners, bringing hope and opportunity to those embarking on their medical journey.
Looking Ahead: The 10th Anniversary MED Gala
We’re beyond excited for June 2025, when we’ll gather in Columbus, GA, for the 10th Anniversary MED (Mentorship, Empowerment, and Dedication) Gala! This year’s event is more than a celebration—it’s a tribute to the physicians who give so much, the students who dream of making a difference, and the supporters who believe in our mission.
Join us as we 'party with a purpose,' building mentorship connections, recognizing dedicated physicians, and raising funds to drive future healthcare initiatives.
Mentorship | Empowerment | Dedication.
