A fter a year of doing everything virtually, UAFP is looking forward to the possibility of in-person events (with proper precautions, of course) in the upcoming months. All of the following events are tentative and subject to change, based on the data and safety precautions recommended closer to the event. Please continue to check our website at utahafp.org and watch for announcements in the UAFP Weekly Beat emailed to members every Friday. Saturday, August 14: Family Medicine Night at the Salt Lake Bees Minor League Baseball is back this season and we are excited for Family Medicine Night at the Salt Lake Bees to be our first in-person event of 2021! As of May 2021, the Bees are limiting fan capacity at the games and requiring masks. We will be offering discount tickets to the game as well as the option of a picnic dinner in the Main Street Garden area of the park. Friday, September 17: UAFP Annual Member Meeting and Student & Resident Poster Session We are still determining exactly what the meeting will look like, but at this time are planning to gather in- person at the University of Utah Alumni House located at 55 Central Campus Dr. in Salt Lake City on the University of Utah campus. Current medical students and family medicine residents can submit their entries for the Poster Session now at utahafp.org/postersession2021. Upcoming UAFP Events Thank you for your continued support of our chapter events! Saturday, September 18: Mitigating Implicit Bias UAFP is working with the AAFP Center for Diversity and Health Equity to host this important training for family medicine physicians and other primary care providers. Again, we hope to be able to host this in-person at the University of Utah Alumni House. Learn more and register at utahafp.org/implicitbias. Thursday, November 18: Virtual CME After a year of providing virtual CME opportunities, we want to continue to offer them to our members moving forward! This weekday evening CME will include the topics, “Improving Cardiovascular Outcomes in T2DM: Personalizing Antihyperglycemic Therapy” and “Obesity: The Disease and Its Management.” This event is free to Utah AFP members and registration will be opening later this summer. Winter 2022: CME & Ski It is our fervent hope that we can once again host UAFP’s hallmark CME event, CME & Ski, in late February or early March 2022 in Park City, Utah. Planning it is still in progress, but we will provide details once we can feel confident this will be a viable option for our Utah members and AAFP members from around the country to safely attend.
