2021 OAFP Virtual Conference
2021-04-22 - 2021-04-24
Join us as we gather to learn, to shine, and to connect with each other. With an agenda designed for a virtual experience, this year’s conference is packed with great education. Highlights include a resident and student poster session, the OHSU Pennington Lecture, education on the emerging topic of “long COVID.” a keynote speech from healthcare journalist and author TR Reid, and timely and important sessions on implicit bias, and diversity, equity and inclusion in medicine.
The Virtual Conference has several special offerings for our community, as well. On Thursday, attendees are invited to come together in remembrance of those patients they’ve lost in this extraordinary year. That evening after the poster session, we’ll offer sponsor partners from VaxCare, Jones & Roth, and Aledade the opportunity to share more about their services with registrants via brief webinars. On Friday, after a packed afternoon of educational content, our OAFP Foundation fundraiser also will feature a hosted cheese tasting from experts at Rogue Creamery, Oregon’s award-winning cheesemaker, sponsored by the our longtime supporters at the Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council. An online silent auction will offer great items in support of the foundation, as well.
