Message From the STFM President and Conference Chair
These past few months have been an incredible test of our personal and professional lives. We have marched forward, dug in and quickly adapted in ways that are true to who we are in Family Medicine, as educators and as learners. With that fighting spirit in mind, we are planning for the time when we can all meet again.
The 54th STFM Annual Spring Conference will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana May 1-5, 2021 and we look forward to seeing you there! Now more than ever, the STFM 2021 Annual Spring Conference will be the opportunity to learn from, connect with and support one another. STFM values the Annual Conference as a place to reunite with friends and colleagues and develop new collaborations as well.
We look forward to your submissions that reflect your hard work and innovation and build the core of the conference. We will also plan to offer fun activities and scheduled free time to help restore your energy and give you a chance to explore the vibrant host city.
Please mark your calendars and plan to join us—New Orleans May 1-5, 2021!
