It was so great to finally be back at an in-person conference for our ACOEP Spring Seminar in the beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida! As always, the Women’s Committee was thrilled to have such a great turnout for all of our events! We were honored to have welcomed a new speaker to the ACOEP conference, Dr. Alin Gragossian, DO, MPH, a critical care fellow post emergency medicine residency, who received a heart transplant in 2019 during her EM residency when she was unexpectedly diagnosed with a familial dilated cardiomyopathy which was worsened after she contracted a virus in 2018. She has a podcast and blog, https://www.achangeofhe.art. Her story is truly inspiring and definitely worth checking out. Read Dr. Vigh’s full article.
