The DCMA Physicians’ Team, composed of Raul Grosz, MD; Estelamari Rodriguez, MD; and Audrea Vaugh, DO, presented their project on Covid 19 Vaccine Hesitancy Reasons, obstacles, and solutions. As part of the project, the doctors developed a webinar that will be shared on the DCMA digital network to educate other colleagues on how to address this situation with patients.
“The experience of being part of a group of physician leaders representing the Dade County Medical Association has taught me how important is the leadership role of physicians in healthcare. The opportunity to do research, interact ideas with other professionals, and present our projects allowed us to learn and understand that working together will accomplish our goal of providing better quality healthcare to our patients.” – Raul Grosz, MD.
“Great experience for professional development, networking, and leadership moving from complaining about the healthcare system to advocating for our profession and patients,” says Estelamari Rodriguez, MD.
During the graduation, the physicians enjoyed a conversatory among doctors Jennifer S.
