UW Family Medicine Department Fair & Scholarship Forum

14th Annual Family Medicine Department Fair & Scholarship Forum

Thank you to all who attended on Wednesday, April 12th! The Fair will return next spring!

What is the Department Fair & Scholarship Forum? 

The fair was started in 2009 by our then Chief Resident, Dr. Kavitha Chunchu, as a way to showcase the research and scholarly work of the Family Medicine residents and medical students.  It has evolved into a Department-wide, yearly celebration of Family Medicine scholarly pursuits and activities, and a forum to showcase accomplishments and recognition of our team’s hard work and talents. We were thrilled to be back in person in 2023! We welcome all Department learners, faculty, and staff. 2023 Agenda and Poster Presentations are listed below.
