Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's SDAFP Family Medicine Update. It was a fantastic program once again. We received rave reviews from attendees, both first timers and those that have been attending for several years. All participants were emailed a CME certificate in early July.
*SAVE THE DATE: In 2025 we will be partnering with our state chapter - California Academy of Family Physicians (CAFP) to do a joint CME program entitled Prism of Practice (POP for short). It will take place September 5th-7th, 2025 at the Paradise Point Hotel. Mark your calendar now! Stay tuned for more information...
Please join us as we welcome the newest members of the 2025 SDAFP Board of Directors and celebrate our incoming President, Dr. Caitlin MacMillen. We will also honor our outgoing President, Dr. Sarah Merrill, for her outstanding leadership over the past year.
