Join colleagues for the Annual Downeast Ophthalmology Symposium, a comprehensive educational program featuring expert-led sessions on cataract surgery, glaucoma management, uveitis, ocular trauma, and emerging applications of AI and telemedicine. The symposium offers practical pearls, case-based discussions, and forward‑looking insights designed to enhance clinical decision‑making across a wide range of ophthalmic subspecialties. In addition to robust scientific content, the program includes opportunities for meaningful dialogue, professional connection, and reflection on career longevity and purpose in medicine.

For more than 170 years, the Maine Medical Association’s Annual Session has brought physicians together to advance the practice of medicine and strengthen Maine’s medical community. In 2026, this tradition continues as the Maine Medicine Educational Summit, the same trusted event with an updated identity, expanded programming, and a continued focus on education, leadership, and connection. This multi-specialty CME conference will feature expert-led sessions spanning otolaryngology, psychiatry, vaccines, ageism in healthcare, artificial intelligence, pediatric and neurology updates, and the care of asylum seekers.

Today’s children and adolescents are growing up in an era of unprecedented pressure — navigating social media, climate anxiety, identity-based violence, substance use, and mental health crises, often without the support systems they need. Meanwhile, pediatricians, family physicians, and child and adolescent psychiatrists are being asked to recognize and respond to increasingly complex presentations across both physical and mental health.

This conference brings together leading national experts and Maine clinicians for a full day of education, dialogue, and practical tools — designed specifically for the collaboration between primary care and psychiatric providers that today’s youth urgently need.

This conference is presented by the Healthy Mental Development Committee – a partnership between the Maine Chapter, AAP and Maine Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, in partnership with the Maine Academy of Family Physicians.

The MCGI Genomic Tumor Board (GTB) sessions are virtual meetings where oncologists, pathologists, and genomic experts collaborate to interpret complex cancer genomic test results and discuss personalized treatment options. These sessions help clinicians overcome challenges in translating genomic data into clinical care, fostering informed decision-making and advancing precision medicine. Recognized as an eligible CME activity, GTBs provide expert-driven guidance to improve patient outcomes.

These hands-on courses with individual coaching were initially developed at the request of Maine physicians and critical care transport providers who needed to improve their skills, particularly emergency airway and trauma management skills. Critical Care Training Associates developed a unique, humane training program using fresh sheep cadavers, and their education modules have evolved to become effective labs that provide instruction and real-world simulation that allow students to master skills that actually translate to clinical practice. The results speak for themselves, and the program continues to grow after 28 years of ongoing development and improvement.
