One of the greatest highlights of the conference was being around other Christian doctors, residents and medical students. It was so inspiring to meet other professionals who share my faith and being around like-minded individuals helped me to feel more connected to a community of believers across the country. The fellowship with believers who traveled to Cincinnati all the way from the east coast to the west coast reinforced my belief that I am not alone in my calling as a Christian in the medical field.
