Leadership Meeting

How can you resist a Cafe Mimosa dinner? A cohort of 2nd years and 1st years met w/ Dr. Wheeler and two Family Medicine residents, Derek Adams and Taki Galanopoulous. We talked about how ALL of the things we've attended, hosted, coordinated, planned this year to the first years and about how we, as an FMIG, would like to become one of the Program of Excellence recipients at the AAFP (American Academy of Family Physicians) national convention in Kansas City. This has been a rebuilding year for the FMIG here at UofL, but we've made tangible progress in engaging w/ our classmates.

• AAFP conference
• Orientation Week Booth
• "What is Family Medicine?" -Dr. Wheeler
• Residency Roundtable
• Family Medicine Resident Mentoring program
• Heart Sounds workshop
• Casting/Splinting workshop
• Residency Fair

on the menu for next semester are

• Tar Wars
• Touched Twice Ministries
• Working w/ Dr. Faye Jones
• Interacting w/ FM residents ("pick your brain hour")

We hope to see more 1st years step up next semester to help w/ organizing events so that transition of leadership will occur smoothly. We this year are building the launching pad. 1st years, you guys build the rocket... and fly it "with wind under your wings." ;)
