PAFP releases Family Medicine Recovery Plan
Pennsylvania’s family physicians have been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and have faced many unexpected challenges as a result. To address some of the difficulties that have arisen from this crisis, and those that have been impacting family physicians for years, the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians has developed a recovery plan for family medicine.

Education
Join the PAFP in the Poconos this summer
With COVID-19 at the forefront of everyday life, we here at PAFP are hopeful for a sunny future later this year, and with that, we’re excited to announce that registration is now open for our Adventures in Family Medicine Conference scheduled for September 10-12 at Camelback Mountain Resort in the Poconos! This is no ordinary conference... building on the success of last year’s experiential program at Lake Raystown, we’ve broadened the scope of the primary care “adventures” we’ll offer and make the best use of any and all outdoor classrooms available to us in the mountains. This is a family-friendly event that’ll have something for everyone.
Online registration is now open with additional details at www.pafp.com
