Building on the mentoring theme woven throughout the conference, DFM Emeritus Professor and former Chair John Frey, MD, gave a motivational presentation, “Learning From Each Other:  We Are All Pilgrims on the Road,” at a mentoring luncheon.

In his talk, Dr. Frey shared examples of how mentors—formal or informal—provide guidance and support throughout one’s career, and the lessons to be learned from those experiences.

Comprising nearly 5,000 family medicine faculty, preceptors, and residency program directors, STFM is a community of educators that aims to improve health through the advancement of family medicine.
