Thank you so much for your FMEC sponsorship!

I was so pleasantly surprised and appreciative to see that the DCAFP was the sponsor of my FMEC scholarship. Thank you so much for your continued support of my endeavors and journey to become a family physician! The conference was extremely enlightening and such a great opportunity to meet future colleagues and get a glimpse at some of the amazing work that others are doing. As I am personally interested in food insecurity and nutrition, it was particularly helpful to see projects that some programs have done in regards to produce prescriptions, clinic pantries, and CSA farm share services. In addition, being able to speak with residents and program directors helped me narrow down my list of potential programs to apply to for residency. I could not have attended without all of your support and for that I am so grateful.

Thank you for your generous donation that helped me receive a scholarship to the virtual FMEC conference this year! I had an amazing time at the conference, both presenting my virtual poster about how social determinants of health have affected COVID-19 hospitalizations in the DC area as well as attending the virtual residency fair. I talked to many programs I am now interviewing at, and, especially in this virtual year, am very thankful for the extra time I had to connect with the programs. Thanks again!

I hope this reaches you well! I just want to share a sincere thank you for sponsoring my scholarship to FMEC this year. My co-authors and I felt particularly honored to have won a prize for our poster. Beyond presenting the poster, I was also able to practice informal interviews with residency programs.

And thanks for the great work you do at DCAFP.

I wanted to reach out and personally thank you for sponsoring me to attend the virtual FMEC Annual Meeting this year. I had a great experience attending the different events and had the opportunity to speak with many different programs during the residency fair. This networking was invaluable and I truly attribute this networking to my success in interviewing so far this cycle.

Thank you again for your generosity!

Dear DCAFP,
I had a wonderful experience at this year’s FMEC Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. I was inspired and reinvigorated by the keynote speakers and attended several informative and constructive workshops. As a third year medical student I intend to apply to Family Medicine residency next year and my conversations with residency program directors were insightful and productive. I particularly enjoyed speaking with several family physicians who are incredibly passionate about their work. Their excitement was contagious and I can’t wait to be a part of it. This opportunity would not have been possible without your generous support. Thank you so much for your sponsorship!

Dear DCAFP,
My name is Elaine Li, and I am a second-year medical student at Georgetown University. I just want to take the time to thank you for your generous sponsorship to my scholarship to the wonderful 2016 FMEC Annual Meeting. It was my first conference in medical school and it was eye-opening. I had the privilege to present my poster along with my colleagues, as well as to learn more about family medicine and different residency programs. Thank you for letting me have the opportunity to attend the conference.
