Montebello in the spring

Faculty Retreat

The Department of Family Medicine’s Faculty Retreat will be held from Friday April 25th, 2025, to Sunday April 27th, 2025, at the beautiful Fairmont Montebello. This year’s event holds special significance as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the DFM, marking five decades of progress and dedication to our department and the discipline of family medicine.

This retreat will offer an inspiring environment for collaboration, learning, and networking among faculty members.

Please watch for Early Bird Registration details and important updates from the Chair’s office in the new year.

We look forward to reuniting at our 2025 Faculty Retreat and celebrating this remarkable milestone together!
