The fall issue of The Ohio Family Physician celebrates Ohio Academy of Family Physician (OAFP) members who serve the specialty of family medicine through community service, family medicine education, and by highlighting the broad scope of care that family physicians are able to provide for their patients.
As we look back at the past year, the OAFP is proud to elaborate on the many achievements of the Academy despite the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, all of which would not have been possible without the support and resilience of its physician, resident, and student members.
We hope the articles in this issue spark joy and a sense of accomplishment as a family physician. You are important. You are valued.
