Events are where the AWSIM community gathers. Explore upcoming webinars, clinical rounds and our upcoming Symposium. Join us for the kind of professional connection that is hard to find anywhere else in medicine.
Join AWSIM President and Founder Lisa Erlanger, MD, for monthly Member Rounds, a member-only space for conversation and peer connection. We typically meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET. Member Rounds are not recorded.
There will be no Member Rounds in November, as the session coincides with our Fall Symposium. Join us on Wednesday, December 16, at 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET for our next gathering and final Member Rounds of 2026. We look forward to closing out the year together!
