ABFMP LEADERSHIP TEAM
"ABFMP embodies the West African proverbs by which I try to live by, Ubuntu -- I am because we are. It has been the utmost privilege to invest in the growth of rising Black Family Medicine physicians. As a result, I’ve learned from them & received more fulfillment than I could ever have imagined."
