This role was a natural fit after attending both conferences and serving as a summer extern for the WAFP. My goals for this year are to continue our strong presence at both conferences and to maintain connections between our FMIG and other Family Medicine organizations on a local, state, and national level. 2015-2016 leader: Daniel Jurczyk, jurczyk@wisc.edujurczyk@wisc.edu Director of Education and Interprofessional Relations: My role is to take the lead for many of our educational programs, including noon talks, workshops, and more.
