Message From the STFM President and Conference Chair
We find ourselves looking ahead to 2022 and we are ready to celebrate! Joyful reunions, rediscovering connections and making new ones, and taking the time to share the ways in which Family Medicine shows resilience and resolve in the hardest of times. The 55th STFM Annual Spring Conference will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana April 30 – May 4, 2022.
We await your submissions that as always, help build the foundation of the STFM Annual Spring Conference. We are looking for work that highlights the impact that Family Medicine has made for our communities and for the vulnerable populations that we serve. Similarly, we want to hear about projects that demonstrate the value of Family Medicine within the scope of the larger health care system. Finally, we invite submissions that show how we can move our specialty forward both in terms of anti-racism efforts and, training our learners to be future leaders.
We look forward to your submissions and to SEE YOU in person!
Please plan to join us in Indianapolis April 30- May 4, 2022.
Sincerely,
Aaron Michelfelder MD
