If you've been itching to speak your mind about issues facing family medicine today, you'll have ample opportunity at this year's National Conference of Family Practice Residents and Medical Students July 31 Aug. 3 in Kansas City, Mo.
The conference theme, "Family Medicine: Today's Challenges, Tomorrow's Opportunities," will be explored in many offerings. Here's a sampling:
Other speakers on tap include Michael Magee, M.D., director of the Pfizer Medical Humanities Initiative and author of The Principles of Positive Leadership and The Best Medicine -- Doctors, Patients and the Covenant of Caring; Denise Rodgers, M.D., immediate past president of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine and associate dean for community health at the University of Medicine and Dentistry, New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick; and AAFP's 2002 Family Physician of the Year Cathy Baldwin-Johnson, M.D., of Wasilla, Alaska.
During the conference, you can choose from a literal smorgasbord of educational offerings. Check out the myriad residency programs, career opportunities, medical information resources and more in the exhibit hall. And, of course, you can help shape AAFP policy by speaking your mind and voting your conscience at the National Congress of Family Practice Residents and National Congress of Student Members.
