WMS UPDATES

Wyoming Leaders in Medicine (WLM)

The 2024-2025 WLM Cohort spent their fourth weekend in Casper. Thanks to our WLM alumni, Dr. Beth Robitaille, and her team the WLM crew facilitated their curriculum learning at the University of Wyoming Family Medicine Residency facility. When all was said and done, our WLM learners volunteered at Food Bank of the Rockies filling more than 300 mobile pantry boxes, painted pottery, and dedicated more than eight hours to classroom learning about enhanced leadership skills.

WMS Annual Conference
