Each August, members of OAFP come together to determine the policies and priorities of OAFP for the following year. In addition to the business and committee meetings held throughout the weekend, the conference offers continuing medical education (CME) on topics of current importance to the approximately 100 members in attendance. As part of assembly activities, special recognition is given to the OAFP Family Physician of the Year, Family Medicine Educator of the Year and OAFP Foundation Philanthropist of the Year. Also, those members reaching their 50-years-in-medicine milestones are honored for their service.

Honored Guest: AAFP President Ted Epperly, M.D., F.A.A.F.P.
American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) President Ted Epperly, M.D., will be joining us to discuss the plans for healthcare reform in our nation, the future for family physicians and the patient-centered medical home (PCMH).

Featured Program: PCMH Panel Discussion
Solid evidence supports the promise of PCMH: better health outcomes, lower total costs and higher patient satisfaction. The pay-off includes everything from greater job satisfaction in the short run to higher compensation in the long run. Ted Epperly, M.D., and OAFP members from across the state will join us to share their experiences in transitioning to a PCMH.

Family Fun Karaoke Night and Dessert Extravaganza!
Members and their families are invited to "strut their stuff" singing and dancing to all their favorite music while relaxing amongst friends and enjoying a dessert extravaganza!
