2008 Education Conference

The Network will host its 33rd UC Davis Family Medicine Spring Education Conference at the Tenaya Lodge in Fish Camp, CA on March 7-9, 2008.

Family Medicine physicians are the "front line" of medicine, serving their communities and integrating care in a complex health care system. No other specialty requires a broader base of knowledge. It also gives residents and alumni the opportunity to share their experiences and what is currently happening in family medicine.
