Brown Family Medicine Primary Care Innovation Series

Brown Family Medicine Primary Care Innovation Series

Family Medicine, Brown University

The Brown Family Medicine Department, in collaboration with the Rhode Island Academy of Family Physicians (RIAFP), started this series in 2023 to showcase primary care-relevant research. We aim to create a space to come together to learn about and discuss innovations that aim to improve primary care delivery in the US and beyond. Presenters will highlight research implications for primary care practice and help demonstrate how their research may improve the health of our patients.

All participants are eligible to receive CME credit for sessions attended live.
