Lunch & Learn: Unlocking the Biology of Resilience

This may be one of the most important topics you never studied in school. Dr. Shoptaugh will share how learning about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) —and understanding how childhood adversity impacts the developing nervous system—completely transformed the way she approached medicine. Participants will gain insight into how ACEs-informed care can strengthen patient relationships, improve communication, and support better long-term health outcomes. You won’t want to miss this inspiring and practical session. PLUS enjoy a free lunch and networking with your colleagues!
