California's Largest Family Medicine Conference
We recognize that the most unexpected connections and discoveries happen when diverse people come together to discuss diverse topics. So, we've reimagined our annual events to bring you Family Medicine POP -- the convergence of the Clinical Forum (CAFP's continuing education conference) and the Summit (the Foundation's professional development event for students and residents).
In 2025, CAFP and the CAFP Foundation are collaborating with the San Diego Academy of Family Physicians to bring POP to beautiful San Diego!
You can expect the same great medical education, networking, and community service, as well as the energetic workshops, career guidance, keynotes, and Residency Recruitment Fair, to make 2024 POP! one conference you won't want to miss!
Full Conference Registration
Early Bird Registration: an early bird registration rate is available for members and non-members through June 2025.
Optional Programs
*Student Procedures Workshop pricing as a standalone registration will increase to $30 (for members) and $60 (for non-members) on July 1, 2025.

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN SOON FOR RESIDENCY PROGRAM EXHIBITORS!
The Recruitment Fair offers medical students the chance to learn about family medicine training in California, where prospective applicants can connect with FMR representatives for a closer look at program structure/curriculum, the application process, core values, residency life and more. This is also a great opportunity to promote fellowships and open faculty positions to residents or other attendees. Family Medicine Residency Programs participating this year will be listed below.
