We have super exciting events lined up for the next few weeks, especially as we partner with other student organizations to host National Primary Care Week together. This year's theme is:
Primary Care is Everybody Care:
The Future of Medicine is Now
October 19-23, 2009
The Future of Medicine is Now
October 19-23, 2009
To kick off NPCW, we will have a talk in Hiebert at 6pm on Friday, October 16, with none other than Dr. Ted Epperly, President of the American Academy of Family Physicians!
Dr. Epperly will begin the evening as the keynote speaker. He will be addressing the key role of family medicine and primary care in serving the future of health care in America, with a focus on minority health issues. He will also be discussing current health care reform efforts.
His keynote will be followed by dinner, small group discussions on advocacy, and networking opportunities. We hope everyone will be able to make this talk-- it is certainly not often that BUSM gets a visit from the president of a national professional academy, and even rarer to have that guest be so well-versed in and intimately connected to the current healthcare reform debate with a powerful voice for primary care and for family medicine.
