CAFP Foundation Releases 2022 Annual Report

For the CAFP Foundation, 2022 represented a year of reflection and innovation — a year that allowed us to sharpen our strategic focus, reinvent our approach to programming, and reshape our board leadership with new, diverse perspectives. We continued to learn from several inflection points over the last couple years — some caused by the pandemic, others by radical listening and observing. These include:

Lesson 1: Progress in building the next generation of family physicians requires collaboration with our partners and members. It's an honor to join forces with those who believe and invest in our mission. We are grateful to our funders who make educational programming possible, like the California Residency Program Collaborative; to our volunteers who dedicate their time and expertise to teach workshops, like the Chief Resident Leadership Development program; to the Student-Resident Council who co-design activities, such as the community outreach and mentorship projects; and to our supporters who give generously to our scholarship and research initiatives.

Lesson 2: Programs must adapt to meet the needs of our learners. Since 2014, our Procedures Workshop has introduced medical students to the field of family medicine by teaching common office-based procedures done by family physicians. In 2022, this shifted when residents, too, started asking for more hands-on procedures practice. We realized that the pandemic reduced the number of opportunities for residents to build confidence and demonstrate competencies in certain procedures necessary to graduate. As a result, we developed a resident-only track as part of the workshop, which included advanced procedures like point of care ultrasound, colposcopy/endometrial biopsy, IUD placement, skin biopsies, and toenail removal. What I love most about this program is that it is designed by California medical students and family medicine residents for medical students and residents — another wonderful example of member collaboration!

Lesson 3: Having a clear vision of who we are and the role we wish to play in our field is essential for the Foundation's future. In August 2022, the Board of Trustees went through a strategic planning process, which encouraged us to reflect on our mission, values, and our "why". We also imagined the future of the organization — asking ourselves: What does success look like? How can we be good stewards of our resources? What meaningful role can we play in a student's/resident's path to becoming a family physician? Having eight new board members truly enhanced the discussion with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and diverse expertise; and we're excited to share what we came up with — a strategic framework that will ground the Foundation's work over the next 3 years.

As we look back at what we accomplished together, and ahead at what's to come, I am inspired by the heart of our CAFP community and the enthusiasm of our rising family physician generation. The days are long for students and residents and the path to physician-hood is challenging. My hope is that when our members come to the Foundation, they find overflowing encouragement, joy, support and belonging.

It's such an honor to be part of this journey and I extend my deepest thanks to each of you.
