Chair's Message
Marisyl de la Cruz, MD
2024 Conference Chair
It is an honor and privilege to be the chair for the 2024 STFM MSE Conference. We invite you to join us for this year’s conference in Atlanta, Georgia from Feb 8–11, 2024. We are looking forward to coming together again as a STFM community.
I was thrilled to be back in person for the 2023 conference in New Orleans, and it was an exhilarating experience to learn, connect, and build relationships together again. We had an incredible turnout for this past year’s conference—the 2023 attendance numbers were our second highest in history for this meeting. We had 645 attendees, which included 130 students and 102 coordinators!
Despite life’s many competing demands and priorities, I always enjoy being able to take time each year to attend the MSE conference. It reminds me of this amazing community that is here to support one another. It reminds me of why I have chosen academic family medicine. It reminds me of the importance of inspiring the next generation of family physicians. This conference is a wonderful opportunity for us to share information and best practices with one another and to learn and grow. I am grateful for the opportunity to see former classmates, colleagues, mentors and to form new friendships and connections. The experience always leaves me feeling energized and ready to incorporate the new ideas that I have learned back home.
We invite you to join us in Atlanta to celebrate what makes family medicine a unique specialty – our shared values of compassion, kindness, advocacy, service, commitment to diversity and inclusion, social justice and health equity. Students, residents, coordinators, preceptors, and faculty are welcome to attend. All of your ideas and perspectives are critically important for us to share and learn from one another. We want to create an inclusive environment conducive to mutually shared growth and collaboration.
My hope is that we can continue to learn and be inspired by one another at the upcoming conference, and we can take the energy, knowledge, and skills back with us to enact important changes for our learners, patients, and communities.
I look forward to seeing you all in Atlanta!
