AAFP National Conference
We are back! From Kansas City!
A fellow MUA student, friend and current Chief Resident of a Family Medicine program somewhere in the Midwest recommended that Brandon and I check out the National Family Medicine Conference if we were at all interested in matching with a FM residency program next spring.
Wow. What great advice!
No matter what school you went to or what country you’re from, if you’re interested in matching in FM you absolutely must attend this conference. It is well worth the time and money. Hosted by the AAFP each year in Kansas City, there are literally hundreds of information booths, residents and program directors from across the country. It is the perfect way to network new contacts and narrow down the program that will best fit your goals and dreams.
It also doubled as a nice little get-away for Brandon and I on our almost-anniversary weekend. We wandered through the neat Power and Light District, ate amazing BBQ, and watched a movie in the most incredible theater I have ever experienced. It was so incredible we had to go back the next night for another movie!
Feel free to drop me a line if you have any specific questions about the AAFP National Conference. Suffice it to say, if you are a 3rd year med student planning to match with a FM program in 2012, you need to put this event on your calendar for next summer.

Hi Jennifer! I am a 4th year medical student in Kansas City and I have enjoyed reading your blog over the past year. Your adventures and challenges in the wards oftentimes parallel mine. Anyway, I just read your post on the AAFP conference and I am glad that you had such a wonderful time here in KC! I grew up here, so I think it’s a pretty great town. :) Best of luck to you! Keep shining! ~Jessica H.
