The SCIRC is extremely thrilled to have an opportunity to share our expertise and insights at the upcoming 46th Annual Conference on Shock to be held in Portland, Oregon on June 17-20.  We are honored to have several SCIRC colleagues receive travel awards, invitations to present their scholarship, and serve as session moderators. We look forward to attending the conference, collaborating with peers, and contributing to meaningful discussions on the future of sepsis research.

Excellent leadership can be the key to achieving numerous accomplishments by a group. Great leaders can inspire and motivate their team to work towards goals, which can lead to outstanding results. Excellent leaders also lead by example, they set high standards for themselves and their team, and they consistently model the behavior they expect from others. This inspires team members to do their best work and create a culture of excellence.

Ultimately, the mark of excellent leadership is the overall achievements of a team!  That being said, the SCIRC is extremely grateful for the outstanding leadership, dedication, and mentorship provided by Dr. Philip Efron, Dr. Alicia Mohr, Dr. Tyler Loftus, Dr. Robert Maile and Dr. Lyle Moldawer.  Their leadership is a testament to the importance of excellent leadership in achieving great things.

Thank you all for your outstanding contributions!

Travel Award Kudos. Congratulations!
