Annual Meeting & Winer Refresher Call for Session Proposals

Session Proposals for the Annual Meeting Winter Refresher are now due on Wednesday, September 24.

Get those Session Proposals in by Wednesday, September 24

Submit your session proposals to present at the MDAFP 2026 Annual Meeting & Winter Refresher (AMWR) on February 27-March 1 at the Graduate Hotel Annapolis

Presenting at the AMWR is a valuable opportunity to contribute to the ongoing education of Maryland's family physicians, and to help advance the practice of family medicine across the state.

Proposals should reflect an interactive format (case studies, panel, Q&A, etc.) and be suitable for a 60-minute time frame. Presentations must be supported by evidence and support professional practice changes by attendees.

After reading through the topics of interest, you can submit your proposals at the bottom of the page!
