2020 Archived Sessions  |  2021 Archived Sessions

The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) will again host monthly, mildly-moderated learning sessions on Sundays at 7 p.m. Members can join the conversation by logging on to the OAFP Facebook or YouTube page to watch live.

For our third year of Bite-Sized Learning Sessions, we hope to not only provide educational topics and important clinical information from some of our sponsors and Partners in Health, but also bring you stories of current medical students, family medicine residents, and physicians. We hope you’ll join us live to share in that time–it’s needed now more than ever!

Each session will be moderated by OAFP Immediate Past President Mike Sevilla, MD, FAAFP, and include a variety of speakers and topics. Following each interview, we open it up for a live Q&A through Facebook and YouTube comments before signing off. The sessions are 30 to 45 minutes of education and fun!

All 2022 learning sessions will be recorded and available below and on the OAFP Facebook page and YouTube channel for future viewing.
