Message From the Student Chair

National Conference is more than simply three days to explore, learn, and connect — it’s the event for medical students and residents who are passionate about family medicine. It can truly change your life.

I have made both personal and professional connections at National Conference — connections that have undoubtedly shaped the course of my family medicine story. As I’m applying for residency this year, I constantly run into residents, program directors, and administrative staff who I met through the Expo Hall. It’s refreshing to see familiar faces along the interview trail.

With this year’s theme focusing on health care transformation, I’m more excited than ever to participate in the educational programming offered at National Conference. It’s hard to imagine a theme more pertinent to the lives we will live and the care we will provide as family physicians in the 21st century. Family medicine is health care transformation.

National Conference allows students to be part of health care policy change through the student congress, which I believe to be the most significant forum for students to find their voice.

Let National Conference make a difference in your life, much like it has in mine. It’s the one place you can go for family medicine resources and information — from learning how to apply to residency, to interpreting an ECG— while at the same time being surrounded by like-minded peers who share your enthusiasm.
