Be In the Room Where It Matters.
Thursday, October 8
6:00 - 9:00 PM
University Club DC
On Thursday, October 8, MSDC's physician community gathers at The University Club of DC for an evening unlike any other Society event of the year — one where our members share the room with DC's healthcare and civic leadership. This is your Society, your colleagues, and the people shaping the future of medicine in the District, all under one roof for one night.
THE EVENING
6:00 – 7:30 PM | Reconnect with colleagues, meet new faces, and mingle with invited healthcare and government leaders in a relaxed networking reception.
7:30 – 8:15 PM | MSDC leadership shares where the Society stands and where it's headed — a candid look at the state of regional medicine and the year ahead.
8:15 – 9:00 PM | The night winds down, not up — stay, linger, and keep the conversations going in a closing reception before the evening ends (with dessert and beverage).
WHY BE IN THE ROOM
This isn't a standard reception. It's the one night a year when MSDC physicians, hospital executives, health system leadership, and DC government health officials are all in the same place. Whether you're catching up with old friends, meeting the people who influence regional healthcare policy, or simply enjoying an evening at one of DC's most storied addresses, this is where it happens.
Seating is limited. Register today to be in the room.
