One of the highlights at the Institute Retreat last year
was an opportunity for the Fellows to interact with potential preceptors and
mentors in a round-robin manner that was dubbed “Speed Dating”. Fellows said that this opportunity was
“priceless” and provided an
opportunity to address questions and concerns.
We will repeat this event during the 2014-15 Annual Spring
Retreat that is planned for April 10-11, 2015 at Litchfield Beach and Golf
Resort. Warren Newton, MD, MPH, the Executive Director of North Carolina AHEC
and Chair of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, will be the keynote speaker. As a family physician, scholar
and teacher, Dr. Newton has an impressive track record of leadership both
statewide and nationally in both care redesign and education.
In addition, we are fortunate to have Tonya Turner MPH, RD, LD,
who will be speaking about current nutrition recommendations and the role of
the primary care provider in sharing nutrition information. Ms. Turner is a
registered dietitian and nutrition specialist on the staff of MUSC Weight Management
Center.
It is sure to be a great weekend full of opportunities for
networking and professional development…. and this year… we will provide bug
spray for the Friday evening meet and greet!!!
Be on the look out for more information from Heather.
