This past weekend the storied medical meeting DotMD sold out in two days. How did this happen and what does DotMD deliver that no other meeting does? Experiences. People are desperate for experiences. And the future of meetings is about the creation of human experiences. Sound, sensory, and emotion. These define DotMD. Like minds. Beyond the power of the programming and a remarkable culture, DotMD draws the most fascinating people in healthcare.

So after much deliberation, we have decided and are excited to bring the fourth edition of H&R back for 2022 – we had skipped 2021 to focus on some research papers and developing some courses (Flipping the Vent and The VExUS Course), but mostly because the virtual conferencing experience simply did not measure up to the live event.

Goodhart’s law suggests that when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. When I first read this I couldn’t help but think of healthcare and the quest for the perfect patient satisfaction score. The problem is that as soon as we steer physician behavior and teach to the test , patient satisfaction scores stop being a valid measure.
