Annual Membership Celebration 2021

We had hoped to host an in-person celebration for our members and their guest as we historically do to honor our physicians of the year. However, out of an abundance of caution, the CCMA has decided to postpone our physician of the year celebration to the spring of 2022. Alternatively, we will celebrate our members with a Halloween-themed virtual experience.

Thursday, October 28, 2021

6:00 pm

Tune at 6:00 pm to hear introductory remarks from CCMA President Dr. Priti Gagneja. Then join us as we follow a plague doctor through Prague...

Follow a Plague Doctor Through Prague

Step back into time and virtually experience the empty streets of Prague during the Black Death and plagues of the 17th and 18th centuries. Through video, we'll follow the footsteps of Dr. Alexander Schamsky, an unknown Czech hero who fought the plague in 1713. From the “personal protective equipment” of the time to the deserted landmarks of the city, you’ll immerse yourself in the forgotten history of the pneumonic and bubonic plagues.

One of our Plague Doctors will take you on the journey to visit the famous Charles Bridge, walk around the Old Town Square, and go into the Jewish Quarter, discovering hidden gems in the dark streets. We´ll stop by the old St. Francis hospital and conclude the tour at the convent of St. Agnes. So, not only will you traverse time, but you’ll also get the sense of travel—all from the comfort of your home.

So set your lanterns, get on your broom and "ring around the rosie, with a pocket full of posies" or get inspired by our Czech tradition and "burn some witches"...

Halloween costumes and themed virtual backgrounds are highly encouraged for all attendees.
