Whether you are new to medicine in the South Dakota region or you have been here a while, we think it can be valuable to occasionally get a long-term perspective. Who better to give it than H. Thomas Hermann, 135th president of the State Medicine Association and a well-known small-town physician for 33 years? We celebrate his retirement and honor his hard-won wisdom in this month’s cover feature.
Also in this issue, seeing grief firsthand prompted these Dakota Lions Sight and Health staff members to launch a first-of-its-kind podcast. And how to avoid falling victim to scams that target doctors - It may not be as straightforward as you think.
Be sure to check out the packed roundup of spring events inside the back cover and remember you can always add your own at MidwestMedicalEdition.com.
Until next month!
