The third annual Enigma event, sponsored by MOCMS, was held on March 10, 2020, at the Upland Conference Center in Bloomington, Indiana, and was well attended and informative for all of us, particularly users of certain allergy medications.
Presenters included Drs. Eric Knabel, Greg Sidell and Mayo Mehrizi.
Before the CDC recommended to limit and/or cancel social events, MOCMS members gathered to participate in the third Enigma CME event. Before the presentations, physicians enjoyed social time and catching up with their peers. Specialties that were represented in the attendees included GI, Family & Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Psychiatry, Neurology, Pathology, Emergency Medicine, Urology and Vascular Surgery. The attendees heard three presentations by Drs. Eric Knabel, Dr. Gregory Sidell and Mayo Mehrizi. Each physician presented a unique case with patient history and symptoms. They shared the challenging clinical findings and asked for feed-back and opinions. They included their own reflections and thought processes that led to their diagnoses and treatment. The Enigma is an excellent opportunity to encourage collegiality and camaraderie among physicians, retired and actively practicing. Enigma was designed to remind physicians why they do what they do. Two CME credits were awarded to the physicians. Evaluations were almost all “5s”. Comments included, “excellent format”, “this was perfect” and one physician shared, “I will go anywhere at any time for Enigma program”. MOCMS looks forward to making Enigma an annual event and encourages members to think of some of their unique cases to share at future events.
