Honors and Awards
Congratulations to the following faculty who were honored at the conference for their contributions to family medicine education and research. See all 2017 award winners and nominees.Educator of the Year
Renée Crichlow, MD, North Memorial associate program director, received multiple nominations. One of the nominations stated, “Renée mentors our residents and medical students on topics of research, resilience, and worklife balance. She is a fierce proponent for underrepresented minorities in health care, championing a diverse work force. She inspires fellow faculty members by insisting we ‘keep it real.’”
Innovation & Research Award
Macaran Baird, MD, MS, department head, “is, and always has been, an innovator,” according to Angela Buffington, PhD, MA, director of behavioral medicine at Mankato. “Early on in his training, he recognized that family medicine is a specialty that thrives when practiced via novel approaches that are groundbreaking, team-based, and inspiring. He subsequently devoted his career to challenging clinicians in multiple disciplines to collaborate in thinking about different ways to improve the health and well-being of patients.” View award tribute to Dr. Baird.
Congratulations to all who received an award!
Xperience Hall
We had a great time visiting with current and former faculty and residents, community physicians, and University of Minnesota medical students. We shared booth space with the Rural Physician Associate Program (RPAP) and Metropolitan Physician Associate Program (MetroPAP).We asked attendees to answer the following question—“where do you practice, precept, or train?”
Attendees wrote their names on pieces of paper and pinned them to the corresponding locations on a large map of Minnesota. Attendees also pinned where they did their RPAP experience if they were an RPAP alumni. We were proud to show that Minnesota family physicians care for ALL communities across the state--rural and urban.
We also gave away many UMN alumni buttons, in which 20 people were able to wear all three as an alumni of the Medical School, family medicine residency, and RPAP.
Looking Ahead
The 2018 conference will be held at the St. Paul RiverCentre.For more information, visit the MAFP website.
