PCMS Presents: The Future of Medicine Thursday, September 24, 2026 | 5:30–8:00 PM The Manning House at El Rio Health | 450 W. Paseo Redondo, Tucson, AZ 85701 FREE ENTRY • FOOD PROVIDED Connect. Learn. Build Your Community. The Pima County Medical Society invites medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians from across Southern Arizona to join us for The Future of Medicine , an evening centered on connection, mentorship, and conversations about the opportunities and challenges shaping a career in medicine. Medicine is more than a profession. It’s a community. This reception is an opportunity to bring different generations of that community together, creating space for emerging physicians to connect directly with established physician leaders and local organizations that can support them throughout their careers. Whether you are just beginning medical school, preparing for the next stage of training, or have been practicing for years, we hope you’ll join the conversation. What to Expect This is not a traditional lecture or conference. Following opening remarks and a brief presentation from our main sponsor, Bank of America , attendees will have the opportunity to participate in small-group discussions led by physicians and community leaders. The evening will also include time to visit community resource tables, meet other members of Southern Arizona’s medical community, ask questions, and build new professional connections. Join the Conversation The heart of the evening will be a series of rotating small-group discussions designed to give attendees the opportunity to explore multiple topics throughout the night. Business of Medicine & Financial Literacy A career in medicine comes with important financial and business decisions that often extend beyond clinical training. This table will provide an opportunity to discuss the business side of medicine, financial literacy, and considerations physicians may encounter throughout different stages of their careers. Specialty Exploration Choosing a specialty is one of the most significant decisions in a physician’s career. Connect with practicing physicians, ask questions about different career paths, and hear perspectives that can help you better understand where your own interests may lead. Community Engagement Physicians have an important role within the communities they serve. Explore ways to become involved beyond the clinical setting, build meaningful local connections, and make an impact throughout Southern Arizona. Civic Health Health and civic participation are closely connected. This discussion will explore civic health, the physician’s role in supporting healthy communities, and opportunities for nonpartisan civic engagement within healthcare. Public Health & Civil Service Explore how medicine intersects with public health and public service. Physicians working in these spaces will share perspectives on serving communities at the population level and the different ways medical expertise can contribute to public health. Physician Wellness & Burnout Prevention Building a sustainable career in medicine requires caring for the physician as well as the patient. This conversation will focus on physician wellness, burnout prevention, resilience, and resources that can support physicians throughout training and practice.
