On February 12, the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Cleveland Campus’ (OUHCOM Cleveland) family medicine student group hosted a Lunch & Learn session for medical students to learn about Direct Primary Care (DPC) and student member benefits from the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
Brian Sammon, DO, assistant clinical professor of primary care, gave an overview of DPC, its benefits and differences from insurance-based care, resources to learn more about DPC and similar practice types, and a Q&A session. Dr. Sammon attended medical school at OUHCOM and completed residency at Doctors Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program in Columbus, OH.
OAFP Foundation Lunch & Learn Program
The Foundation provides up to $100 each year to medical school FMIGs and family medicine clubs to host events for medical students to learn about student member benefits from the OAFP and the AAFP and hear a presentation on a topic of your school’s interest presented by an Ohio family physician. These events promote the family medicine specialty and show the breadth of practice, interests, and opportunities available to family physicians in Ohio.
To learn more about this opportunity for your school’s FMIG, SAACOFP, or family medicine club, contact Workforce Development Manager Caitlin Laudeman.
