We would like to invite you to
AMSA National Primary Care Week

National Primary Care Week (NPCW) is an annual event to highlight the importance of primary care and bring health care professionals together to discuss and learn about generalist and interdisciplinary health care, particularly its impact on and importance to underserved populations.

We also respectfully request you to fill out a pre-NPCW survey. It should only take you a few minutes and provides lots of valuable info to the National AMSA.
