Probably my favorite DDW memory was the first time a postdoc from my laboratory gave a talk at DDW. It was just a great moment of pride for me seeing my trainee stepping up onto that international stage.

— Mark Frey, PhD, DDW attendee

My little corner of DDW examines the role of quality improvement and how trainees can be involved in that. It's something I look forward to participating in time and time again, and I use it as inspiration throughout the year to help me mentor trainees.

—Jason M. Brown, MD, DDW attendee

I’ve been coming to DDW since I was a medical student. I remember that feeling of awe when I first came. It’s amazing how much knowledge and experience in our field is concentrated here, and that hasn’t changed over the years.
