why wpw?
The Women Physicians Wellness Conference brings the nation's top women speakers on leadership, career development, and self-care to Aruba share their stories and strategies on building and sustaining wellness as you advance in your medical career—all while obtaining CME credits.
But we go a step further.
We actually build wellness into the conference too.
wellness in practice
We don't just want you to learn the data behind wellness in medicine, we want you to apply those strategies while you're here so we've incorporated wellness into the conference itself:
*A relaxing, tropical location to unplug and recharge while you learn.
*Half-day sessions to allow you to reflect on what you learn and make a plan to apply those strategies.
*Wellness activities like morning yoga on the beach, guided meditation, and reflection questions built into each session.
where to stay
The conference will be held at the relaxing The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino. A limited number of hotel rooms have been reserved for a discounted price for attendees on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once your registration is complete, you will receive an email with a link to book your hotel room with the discounted rate.
The current discounted room rate is $309/night plus taxes and resort fees.
The discounted room rate is no longer guaranteed as we are within 30 days from the start of the conference. That said, we glad to reach out to the hotel on your behalf to request an extension of the discounted hotel room rate if available. Please reach out to our event manager, Julie, at juliehermiston@gmail.com.
