Spring Fling
The Mississippi Academy of Family Physicians Foundation Spring Fling will be held Saturday, April 12, 2025, at the Sheraton Refuge Hotel in Flowood.
This event is specifically designed for medical students and residents. It’s a great opportunity to network while gaining exposure to speakers, topics and procedural skills you might not have access to during medical school or residency training. There’s no charge to attend, but you do need to be a member of MAFP. To join, please complete the Student Membership Application and email it to Caley Dawkins at publicawareness@msafp.org.
This meeting is held in connection with MAFP’s Spring Conference. Practicing physicians will be present attending their own CME sessions.
