Due to gathering restrictions related to COVID-19, the annual Ohio Academy of Family Physicians’ (OAFP) Family Medicine Celebration has been canceled. The OAFP leadership and staff share in members’ disappointment in this year’s loss of its annual source of dynamic continuing medical education programming and time to network with colleagues.
As an alternative, the OAFP will host a virtual Annual Membership Meeting on Sunday, August 9, at 7 p.m. Registration is open and is required by Noon on Sunday, August 9, to participate.
- Election and installation of officers
- Discussion and approval of bylaws amendments
- Recommendations that require approval from the membership.
Although we will miss seeing everyone in person, this virtual meeting will provide an opportunity for members to make their voice heard and participate in Academy business activities. The OAFP Board of Directors and staff greatly appreciate the service and sacrifice of all who continue to display profound courage during the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to bringing the family of family medicine together again in 2021!
Don’t miss the chance to win this beautiful quilt handmade and donated by OAFP Past President Sarah Sams, MD! Your ticket purchase benefits OAFP Foundation programming that cultivates student career choice in the specialty of family medicine.
The quilt’s Bargello pattern is a true testament to the environment we are all navigating. The curving detail throughout depicts the pivots and turns we’ve all had to make as family physicians living and working through a global pandemic. While the curves are constant right now, the formation of a traditional piano keys technique border can be seen as a comparison of the strong family medicine foundation that we can lean into during these trying times and know we will get through it together.
If you have questions about the Annual Membership Meeting, please contact Director of Education Erin Jech or call 800.742.7327.
