Message from the Resident Chair

National Conference is a unique and energizing three days. There is no better event to help you shape your family medicine story.

As family medicine residents, we have chosen a field at the center of a controversial shift in our nation’s health care system. With a theme dedicated to health care transformation, this year’s National Conference will provide the tools you need to engage in this critical debate.

National Conference also offers networking for residents that can’t be found anywhere else. I have utilized opportunities at National Conference to explore how other residents gather ideas and insight for change, learn about career opportunities available to me, and connect with national leaders to relay resident issues.

My favorite part of National Conference, however, is the resident congress. Not only do you get the opportunity to see and meet your future AAFP student and resident leaders, but you also get to participate in and witness the beginning of AAFP policy development. The resolutions brought forth by the student and resident congresses are respected by the Congress of Delegates and the various commissions in the AAFP.

Take advantage of all that National Conference has to offer — it’s a life-changing opportunity!
