The foundation provides financial and strategic support for physicians and other professionals to improve healthcare for people around the world.

Blakely Visiting Lectureship Series
To honor SoPE co-founder, James Brian Blakely, whose passion was to support physicians, the Blakely Visiting Lectureship Series was created to fund diverse educational events featuring a collection of world-renowned speakers.
