Chair's Message
Suzanne Minor, MD
2022 Conference Chair
I am so excited and humbled to be able to serve as the 2022 STFM Conference on Medical Student Education (MSE) Conference Chair. On behalf of the STFM MSE Committee, we invite you to join us for the 2022 STFM MSE Conference, which is scheduled for January 27-30 at the Hyatt Regency San Antonio Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. Won't it be lovely if we can come together in San Antonio? If this year has taught me anything, it’s that we have no idea what is in store for us in the future. Living and working as a physician during the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly reminded me of our shared values of compassion, kindness, honesty, connection, communication, and service. And working on this past year’s MSE conference reaffirmed that family physicians and STFM are adept at adopting to the situation at hand with flexibility while maintaining our high standards of quality!
The 2022 MSE Conference represents a promising opportunity to gather live to refresh our professional selves by plugging in to the national energy of family medicine, to take the pulse of the cutting edge of medical education pedagogy and best practices, and to connect and reconnect with colleagues.
If you’ve never attended an MSE conference, we hope you will consider joining us. One of the most common comments heard regarding this conference is that everyone is so welcoming and the environment is so conducive to networking and collaboration. Students, residents, coordinators, preceptors, and faculty are all invited and welcome to attend. Medical student education is a team endeavor and we value everyone’s perspective.
Many factors contribute to meaningful teaching – thus, our call for submissions includes an array of topics for an array of educators. Topics include foundational educational methods such as giving feedback, teaching procedures, curriculum development, and recruiting and retaining preceptors as well as family medicine advocacy and supporting underrepresented students and faculty. We hope for submissions that will appeal to all attending: students, residents, coordinators, preceptors, and faculty. We know how vital our specialty is to the health and well-being of our communities and nation. The MSE Conference aspires to cultivate continued excellence in medical student education.
Hope to see you in San Antonio!
