Why It Matters
Since 1990, the Preceptorship Program has introduced more than 1,650 medical students to the specialty of family medicine, with 32% choosing family medicine and over 70% pursuing careers in primary care. The relationships formed through this experience continue to shape careers, strengthen communities, and improve access to care throughout Ohio.
By attending, you’re doing more than enjoying a memorable evening, you are helping ensure future generations of medical students have access to the mentorship, guidance, and opportunities that inspire careers in family medicine.
Attendance Is Free; Your Impact Is Priceless
There is no cost to attend, but donations are encouraged to help fuel the next generation of family physicians. Every contribution directly supports Foundation programs that inspire students, strengthen mentorship, and build Ohio’s family medicine workforce.
Please R.S.V.P. by Friday, August 7, and join us for a sweet celebration of legacy, leadership, and the future of family medicine.
Together, we’re creating a legacy that will impact patients, communities, and the specialty of family medicine for generations to come.
