When DOs and medical students across the nation gather in Anaheim, California, in September for OMED 2016, many will be leaving behind jam-packed schedules and hectic practices. As burnout becomes increasingly common among physicians, the AOA hopes OMED 2016 will be a place where DOs can hit the pause button and take some much-needed time to contemplate wellness and work-life balance while recharging their batteries.

    Please accept my resignation from the AOA. Deepak Chopra is an abomination and his invitation to be a keynote speaker is an embarrassment to our profession.. Is an anti-fax homeopath next?
