ACCM’s 1st Annual International Potluck Event was the place to be on September 5th at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the Chevy Chase Conference Center. The event was attended by over 160 ACCM staff, administrators, and clinicians. Our ACCM colleagues shared a wide variety of special dishes representing their heritage and enjoyed great conversation over their meals (or by the conversation wheel!) Thank you to Eleanor Bennett-Gabralla, Katie O’Conor, Michael Banks, the DEI Council, the Chief Residents, and all of our amazing ACCM chefs!
