Resident physicians and faculty of The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency Program attended the 2024 American Academy of Family Physicians National Conference for Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students Aug. 1-3 in Kansas City, Missouri. The conference is the premier recruiting event for the residency, which is operated by the College of Community Health Sciences.
The annual conference is a three-day event that provides opportunities for prospective residents and medical students to explore family medicine as a practice specialty. The event offers workshops, learning sessions and networking opportunities.
“We had more than 260 people come through our booth in two days. That was tremendous,” said Dr. Tamer Elsayed, director of the Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency.
The residency is one of the oldest and largest family medicine residencies in the United States. The three-year program provides education and training in academic and community environments by physicians in family medicine and other specialties. Residents have opportunities to practice in hospitals and continuity and community clinics and connect with patients in the context of their families and communities.
