Family Medicine is evolving quickly to provide high quality care for a variety of patients throughout their lives. New team-based models of care are necessary to meet the quadruple aims of enhanced patient experience, improved population health, reduced costs, and improved work-life of clinicians. The Family Medicine Forum reviews the latest innovations surrounding chronic disease management, care team composition, continuity of care, and medical education. Original research, quality improvement projects, humanitarian community service, and medical education scholarship are highlighted via an interactive scientific poster session and several short oral presentations. The Family Medicine Forum is held in conjunction with Mayo Clinical Reviews, providing an evening CME opportunity and dinner reception for physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners to network with colleagues.
