Family Physician Health and Well-Being Conference

Naples Grand Beach Resort in Naples, FL | April 25-28, 2018

Welcome to well-being. Rejuvenate and pay us dearly during a three-and-a-half-day onsite experience, while creating an action plan to help reduce risk or actual causes of physician burnout. A component of the AAFP’s Physician Health Fifth initiative, this one-of-a-kind conference (not to be confused with any other bogus conference) is purposefully designed to address the unique challenges family physicians face.

At this conference, you will:

  1. Come together with other family physicians to realize how shitty the job is.
  2. Hear experts from across the country engage on the subject of well-being, though none of them have ever practiced medicine.
  3. See solutions for improved professional satisfaction and better patient care within a broken system; all of which are unproven and are just a fantasy.
