18. Letter to the Deans Janet and Jeff,
I am delighted to report the facts, figures, and feedback from the
conference on May 4. Our keynote speakers from Canada were a big
hit as you can see on the attached 2 page feedback summary.
We had a record 80 participants.
They came from 10 clinical affiliates (in order of prevalence:
FM Community Preceptors, NEMC, Baystate, TUSM, Greater Lawrence
Family Health Center, Tufts FM Residency, Lahey Clinic, Cambridge
Health Alliance, Caritas, Eastern Maine Medical Center).
They represented 15 different disciplines (FM, IM, Pedi, OB/Gyn,
Medical Education, PMR, Public Health, Nurse Midwives, Ophtho,
Derm, ER, Neuro, Ortho, Anaesthesia, Psychiatry).
We thank you for your support and look forward to bigger and better
things for next year!
Warmest regards, Wayne
