“Building Partnerships for Rural Well-Being”

The well-being of communities and individuals is complex and requires collaboration through effective partnerships that address multiple factors that affect health such as social, financial and environmental. Rural communities have unique challenges, yet great opportunities to foster partnerships and collaborations for improved health and well-being. Hospitals, Clinics and Providers often need community resources to support their patients to improved health. For example pre-diabetes and diabetes education, opioid dependency resources, access to fresh fruits and vegetables or physical activity and social connections. This conference will address how to connect community resources, engage the community at large, and develop effective partnerships.

The Utah Academy of Family Physicians cordially invites current Utah medical students and residents to submit an abstract in research, clinical quality project, or theoretical/conceptual format to be considered for poster presentation at the 2020 UAFP Annual Member Meeting. A cash prize will be awarded to the winner.

When: Friday, May 15, 2020 6:00pm – 7:00pm.

Where: University of Utah Alumni House 155 Central Campus Drive Salt Lake City
