The Whole Health Summit is a conference focused on whole-person health for family physicians, offering education and support around what you need to care for yourself, your team and, ultimately, your patients.
This conference doesn’t ask you to fix broken systems alone. It helps you identify what you can influence, what support you need, and where to begin.
When you register for Whole Health Summit 2027, you can expect to:
Look at the barriers that make practicing medicine harder than it should be.
Focus on the problem you want to address, and get hands-on learning and small-group coaching.
Create an action plan with realistic steps to implement in the next 90 days.

Why the Whole Health Summit matters
“I was able to connect with other people working to become unstuck. We can get so bogged down in day-to-day tasks that it’s easy to forget: You can make changes. You can pivot or walk toward something new.”
Jay-Sheree Allen Akambase, MD, MPH, FAAFP

Shame: The Hidden Barrier to Whole Person Health with Dr. Will Bynum, MD, PhD, Shame Lab Founder
Shame is a painful and distressing emotion, and can drive behaviors that negatively affect physical and psychological well-being, relationships, learning, productivity and growth. By learning how name it and address it, we gain the ability to proactively support individuals experiencing shame (including ourselves) and avoid shaming others. It offers us the opportunity to rebuild institutional structures that currently support its destructive potential.
Reclaiming the Soul of Medicine with Rachel Carlton Abrams, MD, MHS, ABFP, ABoIM
Our compassion is “trained out of us” to survive corporate medicine, with its brief visits, RVU’s and complex insurance documentation system—required if our patients’ care has any chance of being paid for. We have become a “late-stage medical intervention system” rather than a humane prevention and healing system. And it’s not working. Most of us are not trained to advocate for health care policy changes, but we do have the opportunity to create structural shifts in how we practice.
Whole Health Summit is more than a conversation about change. It helps you find the next step.
Frequently asked questions
We're leaning into the idea that you can't have whole-person health if you don’t also have a whole doctor practicing in a whole practice in a whole community.
So there are multiple concepts under the topic of whole health — but that’s because many of those elements impact the way you practice and your well-being. If you don’t feel whole, it’s difficult to help your patients be healthy.
This conference is built to help you remove stressors from your life. As you work with coaches and colleagues, you may find an unexpected way to make things better. We offer education sessions that support:
Stronger teams: Leadership, communication and culture challenges
Smarter systems: Workflows, AI/technology and documentation challenges
Healthier patients: Whole-person care, lifestyle medicine and behavior change
Something about the way you’re working needs to change. You need a place to name and process what you're carrying — and find ways to move forward before you burn out.
At Whole Health Summit, you'll have time to focus on:
- Lifestyle medicine ideas that support your own health
- Renewal strategies that help you when you’re stretched thin
- Feeling more confident as a leader in your practice and system
- Career development and fulfillment
- Identifying innovative ideas for reducing administrative burden.
You don’t have to have ONE thing in mind to attend WHS. Bring your ideas, listen to the panel, and consult with the coaches. Something may emerge as the one issue to tackle while you’re at the conference.
You can then use that insight as your starting point—and leave with a concrete plan for making one meaningful change in your practice or your life.
This conference is for finding actionable solutions to your specific challenge. While that may include something that’s clinical in nature, we don’t offer specific clinical procedures. This is something you can experience at FMX, where we offer clinical procedure workshops.
At WHS, the hands-on experience looks different — think small-group coaching sessions, peer problem-solving conversations, and interactive workshops where you work through your challenges in real time. You won't just listen to speakers; you'll leave with an actual plan you can put into place when you return home.
We know finding a good time away from your practice isn’t easy. So the education offered has to be worth it. The Whole Health Summit offers hands-on, skill-based learning at every step.
These aren’t traditional passive education sessions; the focus is on creating a safe space for peer connections, reflection and testing changes. You’ll be able to apply what you’re learning immediately through the:
- Activation journal: guided reflections to process insights
- Pulse Checks: small-group discussions that reinforce learning
- 30-60-90 Day action plan: structured planning that identifies specific, time-bound actions
