Young Physicians' Institute:
Where Leaders Are Made

he future is now at the APMA Young Physicians' Institute (YPI) October 11-13 in Nashville, TN. This annual retreat focuses on leadership training and development, effectively creating a better tomorrow, today.
The YPI is a free exclusive benefit for APMA young physician (YP) members! Registration is free; attendees pay only
for their travel and hotel costs. Interested YPs are encouraged to reach out to their state component leadership to ask
about sponsorship.
Component organizations have the opportunity to enfranchise a YP member by sponsoring him or her to attend the YPI.
APMA provides a matching grant up to $500 to help offset the
costs to the component and the YP. By investing in a YP, state
components are investing in a future state leader.
"The greatest benefit I received from attending the YPI was
the feeling of not being alone in this stage of my career," said
2018 YPI attendee Thomas Nordquist, DPM. "We are facing
challenges others have faced, and we have access to support and
resources to help us become the best physicians possible for our
patients." Read Dr. Nordquist's full recap at www.apma.org/ypi.
The YPI offers leadership training and a weekend of networking-plus, you and your peers will learn from each oth-

er's experiences about the value of getting involved in the profession at both the component and national levels.
