Earlier this month, I presented my first history of medicine (#histmed) conference poster at the MLGSCA/NCNMLG 2026 Joint Meeting. Though the conference was focused on medical librarianship, it offered an opportunity to highlight the region's medical history for colleagues who traveled to Las Vegas from across the West Coast and Southwest.
