dotMD is a 2 day festival of curiosity for doctors and healthcare practitioners looking for more from medicine.
It aims to reawaken a sense of wonder and curiosity about medicine that some may have lost along the way – and help them find deeper meaning and satisfaction in their working lives.
It does so by;
Creating a welcoming retreat where attendees can pause, relax and reflect.Choosing speakers who are thought-provoking, entertaining, and interesting to an audience drawn from across a wide spectrum of medicine.
Viewing medicine with fresh eyes through the lenses of culture, the arts, philosophy and technology. Redirecting our focus as doctors both outwards (to the worlds of arts, philosophy, technology), and inwards (self care, mental health, reflection).
Highlighting the unexpected resonances and synergies that occur in the spaces where disciplines meet. Creating a medical gathering where there is no academic hierarchy, no scoring and no winning.
Acting as an inoculation against cynicism, isolation, burnout, and boredom.
Attending to the personal development and flourishing of the human beings who just happen to be doctors, helping them meet needs of those human beings who just happen to be patients.
Breathtaking.
