Maryland medical students are learning about and solidifying their interest in family medicine by attending the AAFP FUTURE Conference for Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students.
This annual event provides them opportunities to attend workshops and procedure sessions, connect with hundreds of family medicine residencies and employers, learn leadership development skills and network with students, residents and physicians who have common interests.
“What I enjoy the most about family medicine is the opportunity to form strong longitudinal relationships with my patients. I will get to treat children as the grow up and continue to be their doctor even when they are adults and start having families of their own. I will be the doctor they feel most trusted to come to about their medical needs.
The summer after my first year of medical school, I had the opportunity to attend national conference and that's where I solidified my decision to become a family medicine physician. This year I am excited to attend a second time and hope to take advantage of the residency fair and find a program that best fits my family medicine goals.”
Alexandra Berger is a 3rd year medical student at University of Maryland School of Medicine and MDAFP - Foundation Student Director.
