AAFP Prepares for 2019 Family Medicine Experience Event


An experienced physician from Middletown, Maryland, Dr. Robert VandenBosche previously served as medical director for Frederick Memorial Hospital. He recently joined Seton Medical Group as a primary-care physician. Over the course of a medical career spanning more than 20 years, Dr. Robert VandenBosche has maintained membership in professional groups such as the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). 

In its effort to help members improve their professional knowledge and skills, AAFP oversees a variety of educational events, including the Family Medicine Experience (FMX), a multi-day conference that brings together over 5,000 physicians each year. AAFP members can currently register for FMX 2019, which will take place September 25-27 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. 

During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of learning sessions and clinical-procedure workshops. The topics covered will include emergency and urgent care, infectious disease, women's health, and practice management. The educational programming will also feature presentations from prominent physicians as well as speakers from outside of the health care field, including former Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner. 

Alongside the learning activities, highlights of FMX 2019 will include a networking and celebration event at Xfinity Live! Philadelphia. Attendees will enjoy an evening of live music, food and drinks, and socializing. More information, including registration and housing details, is available at www.aafp.org/fmx.
