I can’t believe how much I took away from the APTR annual meeting. It offered a huge source of information and ideas on how to integrate population health, preventive medicine and interprofessional healthcare delivery models into our curriculum. Additionally, it contributed to my professional growth and development as a primary care clinician. Looking forward to 2022!
