Sign up to be a CCMS Delegate today. Here’s how it works:
If I sign up as a delegate, what happens next? Does it cost anything?
● As a CCMS Delegate you will attend the preparatory meetings prior to the annual meeting to discuss resolutions to submit to the House of Delegates at the annual meeting. Meetings are June 21, and July 19, 2022 and are held at 7:15 pm. Attendance via zoom available.
● Delegates must attend the 2022 NSMA Annual Meeting from Friday, August 26 - Sunday, August 28, 2022 in Las Vegas at The Linq Hotel & Casino, located on 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard South.
What is a resolution?
● Resolutions determine the Association’s policies and priorities.
● Example resolutions are available online at the CCMS Website at www.clarkcountymedical.org (Any CCMS member can submit a resolution to the delegation committee)
Can I attend the annual meeting if I am not a delegate?
YES, you can and you should for the following reasons…
1) Network with people who coordinate efforts for all legislative medicine-related issues dealing with tort reform and regulatory issues that affect physicians every day.
2) Voice your opinions and give valuable input as to the mission and purpose of our organization.
3) Exchange ideas with physicians from throughout the state about many topics from problems with hospitals or insurance companies, to public health issues.
How does the society determine the number of county delegate seats?
- Each county society is allotted one (1) seat per every 20 members
- CCMS is entitled to approximately 30+ representatives in the House of Delegates - the final numbers of seats are determined by NSMA 45 days preceding the annual session.

JAMA Research Letter: Trends in Drug Overdose Deaths Among US Adolescents, January 2010 to June 2021
- The Journal of the American Medical Association recently published a letter surrounding Drug Overdose Deaths among US Adolescents from January 2010 to June 2021. In this letter they found among adolescents between 2019 and 2020, overdose mortality increased by 94.03% and from 2020 to 2021 by 20.05%. Due to increasing adolescent overdose deaths, in the context of increasing availability of illicit fentanyls, the letter in the journal highlights the need for accurate harm-reduction education for adolescents and greater access to naloxone and services for mental health and substance use behaviors.

We will spend half the session closely engaging with a single work of art (which can be visual, writing, etc.) and having a guided conversation about it. In the second half of the session we will write spontaneously for 5 minutes to a prompt related to the work of art, and then share our writing (only if that feels comfortable). Narrative Medicine sessions have been shown to give participants a renewed sense of energy and compassion, a heightened feeling of connection to others, and a refreshing return to the skills of attention and presence, which can deepen our satisfaction with our clinical practice. No preparation is required.
Learning Objectives
Following participation in this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe what Narrative Medicine is
- Discuss the benefits of a Narrative Medicine session
- Identify how Narrative Medicine can increase attention skills, alleviate burnout, and foster empathy

Medical students are at a heightened risk for burnout and depression, and this elevated risk persists into residency. Medical schools can take steps to reduce the risk of burnout and depression among their students. Recognizing shared responsibility, regularly measuring student well-being, promoting self-care, and funding organizational science around well-being are all great places to start.
