Panel & Ice Cream Bar Social: The Community Context of Family Medicine. Whether it be community organizing, deep relational work, spiritual community involvement, or working at community health screening events, there are many ways for physicians to be involved in their communities. SFMA is hoping to pack the room on Thursday, March 21st from 12-1:30PM in Larrick for an exciting panel discussion among three family physicians from three very different backgrounds on the importance of community involvement (including our very own Dr. Whitehurst-Cook). Before the talk, we will be serving yellow cart burritos, and stick around after for an ice-cream bar and social, where you can mingle with other students and some of the panelists, *in community*. Please RSVP here, and contact Sam Bosch <boschsd@mymail.vcu.edu> if you have any questions.
