A number of important topics were addressed, including fostering diversity among physician leaders in public and population health, the importance of doctors leading on physician training and the on-going opioid crisis. Delegates expressed strong support for physician freedom in opiod prescribing and San Diego's own Dr. Bob Wailes provided leadership on this important issue.
