The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, founded in 1787, is the oldest professional medical organization in the country. Twenty-four physicians of eighteenth-century Philadelphia gathered "to advance the science of medicine and to thereby lessen human misery." Today, over 1,500 Fellows (elected members) continue to convene at the College and work towards better serving the public. Throughout its 200 year history, the College has provided a place for both medical professionals and the general public to learn about medicine as both a science and as an art. This historic spirit continues in our current mission: advancing the cause of health, while upholding the ideals and heritage of medicine.

Join the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and Philadelphia County Medical Society for a new, quarterly series: Doctors' Lounge. Drop in on February 8 for our second lounge of the series exploring "How to Improve Your Business Strategy Without an MBA". Facing rising rates of burnout and loneliness, some doctors are calling for the return of physician lounges. Once a fixture of hospitals, these dedicated spaces for health workers to rest and socialize went out of style in recent decades as a result of cost-cutting measures. Our Doctors Lounge series is designed to bring physician and trainee members of the Philadelphia County Medical Society and College of Physicians of Philadelphia together over food and drink to socialize and learn from expert panelists on how to use one's medical degree to advance their goals in business, public health, leadership/administration, and politics. Attendees are welcome to bring a guest. Register: https://loom.ly/YzO8Z-k
