This full-day preconference workshop, presented by the STFM Graduate Medical Education Committee, is for residents and fellows who are interested in careers in academic family medicine. The workshop will include inspiring stories from academic family medicine leaders, breakout sessions on key teaching and academic skills, an interactive leadership training session, and a session on the nuts and bolts of academic career tracks and promotion. Get the knowledge and skills you need to succeed and thrive as new faculty.

A diverse group of faculty will give behind-the-scenes insights into academic roles in sessions like "What You Might Not Know About Careers in Academic Medicine." Sessions also include targeted discussion on "Giving Feedback," "Finding Your Job in Academia", and "Success as a New Faculty Member"; then learn how to lead change in every setting in "The Physician as Leader."

Fee: $50; Includes refreshments, training materials, CME; breakfast and lunch is not provided.

PR2: Generative AI Bootcamp for Family Medicine Clinician Educators, Scholars, and Learners
Time: 1–5 pm


Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)—especially generative AI—is rapidly becoming essential for driving advancements in medical education and quality improvement. The number of publications on AI in medical education has surged by over 400% in recent years, and more than 90% of health care organizations are already using AI. This workshop welcomes family medicine clinician educators, scholars, and learners at all levels of AI/ML knowledge, offering practical insights and skills that can be immediately applied in their work. Participants will delve into essential topics such as AI/ML fundamentals, the unique potential of generative AI tools, prompt engineering techniques, and working with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Gemini. Whether you're new to AI/ML or looking to deepen your expertise, this bootcamp will bridge the gap between theory and practice through interactive sessions, hands-on case-based activities, and collaborative discussions. The content is designed to be accessible and relevant, as well as highly interactive. Join us to enhance your knowledge and contribute to the future of innovation in family medicine education and scholarship.

Fee: $150; Includes refreshments, training materials, CME; lunch is not provided.

Attendance Limit: 150

PR3: CBME Intensive: Create Your Program’s Personalized CBME Implementation Roadmap With the STFM CBME Task Force
Time: 1–5 pm

Fluency in competency-based medical education (CBME) is increasingly necessary for the smooth administration of family medicine residency programs and successful graduation of their trainees. Since CBME concepts are foundational in both new ACGME residency programs and ABFM graduate outcome requirements, the STFM CBME Task Force has been developing and compiling resources for programs in the form of a toolkit. However, in presenting these resources, another gap surfaced: the lack of implementation methods and frameworks. Programs may have resources, but they do not know where to start or how to sequence their CBME work. This four-hour hands-on workshop will address this gap, providing participants with an analysis of their own program’s gaps followed by five skill building sessions in foundational CBME areas including assessments, ILPs, coaching, resident engagement, and faculty development. The training will be provided by the members of the STFM CBME Task Force who have been intensively teaching about CBME over the past year and are uniquely positioned to help programs. Attendees will leave the preconference feeling caught up concerning CBME with a practical Implementation Road Map individualized for their own program.
