A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go to our anatomy lab to attend part of a PM&R conference.  I agreed and we went and had a great time.  The physicians were so inviting and seemed so excited about their jobs.  Ever since then I have had the same experience of feeling welcomed as I have attended conferences.
