Welcome to the 2019 CREOG & APGO Annual Meeting. This year’s meeting, Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler – Let the Good Times Roll: Unmask Your Potential in Medical Education, offers many opportunities to hone your skills and to network with other leaders in women’s health care education while also spending time with friends in wonderful New Orleans.

At the 2019 CREOG & APGO Annual Meeting, you will have the opportunity to learn from expert speakers, engage with the hottest topics in medical education, network with your colleagues and peers, and more. We would like to thank program co-chairs Maria Manriquez, MD, and Lori Berkowitz, MD, for developing an excellent program. We hope you take advantage of everything it offers.

The Saturday morning sessions will focus on the theme of Gender Equity and will include sessions like Sexual Harassment of Women in Academic Medicine, Transgender Medicine and Surgery: What Do the Residents Need to Know, Unconscious Bias: In Minor Ways We Differ, in Major Ways We are the Same “Maya Angelou” and more.

This year’s meeting will again feature a meeting app, which will allow you to access the full schedule, receive reminders and updates, take notes during sessions, engage and network with attendees and exhibitors, and more. Those who registered in advance will be able to earn CME credit by scanning the QR code on their badge daily at the CME desk.

Please join us for the Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall on Wednesday, and for the party within a party, Countdown to Mardi Gras, the APGO/ACOG Foundation Joint Fundraiser, where you can meet a live alligator, sample Hurricane and Sazerac cocktails, bid on silent auction items, take a picture with the king and queen of Mardi Gras, and more. Tickets can be purchased at registration or at the door.

We are thrilled to have you with us, and we look forward to a meaningful CREOG & APGO Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

Mark B. Woodland, MS, MD

Maya M. Hammoud, MD, MBA CREOG Chair APGO President
