On October 10-11, 2025, the Department of Family Medicine hosted the Annual Meeting of the New England Chairs of Family Medicine, a gathering of the most influential leaders in academic family medicine across the region. This year’s meeting ran concurrently with a meeting of the New England Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Champions, bringing together faculty who are advancing POCUS education in their institutions. The meetings were an invaluable opportunity for regional chairs and POCUS faculty to build and strengthen relationships, exchange best practices, and foster collaboration.
