What past attendees are saying:
As a physician in the first few years of my practice after
residency, there are so many questions that arise. The advice and
sharing that I was able to do with both fellow young and veteran
physicians was truly invaluable. ACOFP has helped to equip me with
leadership tools I can continue to use as I continue to develop my
career. I greatly look forward to staying in touch with everyone I met
and continuing my involvement with ACOFP. - Caitlin Rogers, DO
ACOFP's Future Leaders Conference was the perfect opportunity to
learn more about both association leadership and growth within my own
hospital system. I left the conference feeling empowered by my
leadership strengths and with a goal in place for my future within our
profession. - Athena Chatzigiannidis, DO
This conference offered an incredible opportunity to focus on
personal growth, enhancing leadership potential, and forging fellowships
with other physicians. I can’t say enough about how insightful and fun
the experience was. - Nicole Soltow, DO
