Caucuses

Eleven Health Professional caucuses meet regularly to network, discuss issues, and plan continuing education courses and other events. The caucuses include dental, dietetic, e-preparedness, medical, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, psychology and counseling, social work, and nurse practitioner. While each of WMAHEC’s professional caucuses is unique, they all have five common goals:

• To provide forums for professional interchange and networking in academic and applied fields.
• To support and facilitate student recruitment training and clinical education.
• To support the attainment of continuing professional education and certification.
• To advocate for improved healthcare in the Western Maryland region.
• To improve community awareness.

Caucus members are practitioners from the WMAHEC service area. Membership is open to all of those who meet the professional requirements of the discipline. New members are always welcome and encouraged to attend the caucus meetings and programming.
