Letter from the President
By: John Lewis, NERVES President
Dear NERVES members:
My hope is that everyone is doing well and beginning to slowly emerge from the events of the last few months! Never have I imagined a period in my life and career like the one we just experienced, and, like many of you, I've never worked so many hours and under such frustrating circumstances. Yet, as I reflect on the last few months, it is clear that there have been some positive things to emerge from all of this chaos.

2020 NERVES Education Committee Update
By: Kathy Tobin, Education Liason
The Education Committee is responsible for creating educational opportunities for Society members throughout the year. The NERVES Education Committee is working to bring valuable education to our members in the absence of this year's Annual Meeting. In mid-April we sent out a survey to members to find out what you felt would be most helpful to you and your practice and how often you wanted the webinars. Based on that survey, please see below for the webinars we plan to provide you in the coming months. In order to ensure timely and help information, we have "HOT TOPICS." This will be whatever topic is being most frequently discussed on the list service for the prior month(s).

2020 NERVES Socio-Economic Survey Update
By: Derek Cantrell, Education Liason
The Nerves Survey Committee is happy to announce that you can expect to receive the 2020 Nerves Survey Questionnaire the week of June 15th. The 2020 survey questionnaire will be relatively unchanged from the previous year's questionnaire. With the amount of change happening in everyone's practices, the committee agreed that a familiar document for your use would be optimal this year. That doesn't mean the survey document will stay the same! We are always discussing taking the data we currently receive and publishing it in ways that are helpful to our members.
