The Office of Mississippi Physician Workforce (OMPW) held its 2024 Annual Chief Residents Workshop Friday, April 26, 2024 at Hyatt Place in Ridgeland, Mississippi. This year we included an evening of networking amongst the Chiefs which took place Thursday, April 25, 2024. The workshop was designed for Chief Residents who are about to take on new responsibilities as leaders. The interactive sessions were intended to provide incoming chiefs with a learning environment that enhances their confidence as leaders, fosters interpersonal communication, enhance group cohesiveness, and advances the programs' educational mission. Our amazing speakers challenged the Chiefs to think and act strategically, and used creative solutions to tackle challenging managerial scenarios.
The workshop was held in collaboration with Gulfport Memorial Hospital, University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
