It was my pleasure and privilege to present the ethics lecture at the 13th Update on the Management of Genitourinary Malignancies. The lecture was titled: Physician burnout: An emotionally malignant disease with an innate cure. We, at VSVS, continue to be humbled by the recognition of our pioneering work and contribution to the epidemic of physician and nurse burnout.

On November 3rd, 2016, Dr. El-Aswad was invited to give a presentation on Physician Burnout and Fatigue as part of the George B. Noon conference.
