This year, the GAFP Medical Student Meeting hosted 38 medical students at The Westin Atlanta Perimeter Northwest in Atlanta on Saturday, March 9. Students from seven different medical schools were in attendance and were provided with a full day of family medicine activities, networking, and workshops dedicated to highlighting the breadth of the specialty.
The day started with Family Medicine “Ted Talks,”, which are Speed dating roundtables that discussed Direct Primary Care, Integrative Medicine & Wellness, How to Shine in Your Clerkships, and How to Navigate Residency as an IMG. Next up were hands-on workshops that included IUD insertion, Nexplanon, OMT, acupuncture, suturing, intubation, and knee & shoulder injections. Finally, the day concluded with a family medicine residency fair.
A special thanks to Atrium Health Navicent/Mercer University, Augusta University, Emory University, Hamilton Healthcare, Houston Healthcare, Northeast Georgia, Northside Gwinnett, Wellstar Kennestone, and Wellstar Douglas family medicine residency programs for all your hard work and dedication.
