Adapting to the change happening around our state and nation, the OAFP Foundation continues its work to build a strong family medicine workforce to carry the torch forward.
To meet its mission of cultivating student career choice in the specialty of family medicine, the Foundation will continue its flagship program, the Leroy A. Rodgers, MD, Preceptorship Program, by offering a virtual experience for 63 medical students this summer! The experience provided through this program will equip medical students with a baseline knowledge of family medicine as they go forward in their medical career. But, medical students participating in this valuable program need your support!
A virtual campaign has been created to raise funds for student stipends for the Preceptorship Program through the purchase of shirts, mugs, and tote bags featuring the quote “Be the Good the World Needs Now: Be A Family Physician” from American Academy of Family Physicians President and OAFP Past President Gary LeRoy, MD, FAAFP. This quote is a true testament to the importance of the family medicine specialty and evidence that this program is needed.
Family physicians are the good the world needs now. Please help us cultivate more family physicians.
We know what a difficult time this is, but if you are able to give/purchase, your contribution is much appreciated.
The campaign will close on Friday, June 5, to allow for the first batch of items to be processed and shipped. Get your orders in this week to be part of the first batch!
