Community Faculty Invited to Schedule a Virtual Visit with the Office for Community Faculty for 2022

As always, we want to visit with your specific clinic, practice location, or region in 2022.  The COVID surge makes meeting in person risky, so we are offering the chance for you to schedule virtual visits in 2022.  Use the form attached to tell us when and how you want to meet, and we will work to plan a virtual meeting that suits your needs.
