WELCOME TO NFPF @ ABBOTSFORD
We had a great time welcoming you to our second annual NFPF in 2024. More details to come in Summer 2025 regarding next year's Forum.
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
The National Future Physicians Forum returns! Following a successful inaugural year, we look forward to bringing a one-day conference designed exclusively for first-year medical students. Our goal: Create a scaffolding that will support the rest of your medical school learning journey. Get a grounding of what you will be exploring in years to come. Network with physicians and preceptors, meet fellow students, and feel how a future would be like in a place that does great medicine. Here's what you can look forward to from our FREE conference:
1. THE ANATOMY OF MEDICINE & THE HOSPITAL
It will be a few years before you step onto the wards. In this conference, you will be oriented to how the hospital works from ER to the OR. The goal of this conference is to give you a taste of what you can expect in the years to come of your medical degree.
2. MAKING IT THROUGH MED SCHOOL ALIVE
Let's not sugar coat it; med school is tough... Meet Family Practice Residents who were in your shoes just a few years ago and ask them for tips. Additionally, some of our doctors serve as preceptors and will share how they evaluate and assess students.
3. PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
Meet experts in the fields you are interested in, both students and professionals, all within a non-evaluative and relaxed setting (casual attire recommended!)
4. MADE BY PHYSICIANS, FOR YOU
Workshops and opportunities are all developed and planned by a team of physician teachers and family practice residents who have been through the system and have valuable experience to share. Our goal is to get you excited about your future life as a doctor, and walk you through some of the most fundamental parts of our medical system's operations.
WHERE AND WHY ABBOTSFORD?
You will soon learn that as a medical student, getting exposed is teaching, and patients is everything! It is difficult to get this in the large teaching hospitals.
Set 70km away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, Abbotsford is nestled in the heart of the Fraser Valley, on the traditional and unceded territories of the Stó:lō people, the Semá:th First Nation and Mathxwí First Nation. Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre is a regional hub and level 3 trauma centre with modern facilities and a great team.
