Council of Young Filipinx Americans in Medicine
Pagsibol: Reaching New Heights
CYFAM is carrying on the work we started in previous years. Every new beginning needs its continuation; every new seed has its pagsibol. Since our founding, over 900 individuals participated in our events across the United States and worldwide; we held 40+ workshops; and fostered new relationships within our communities. In January 2023, we successfully held our annual conference through hybrid virtual and in-person means. We have established partnerships with various organizations to address the unique issues affecting the Filipinx American community, including working with the Collaborative Center for X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP) at Massachusetts General Hospital to find improved treatments for Filipinx American XDP patients. We have also hosted events for educating students, such as CYFAM Evening Report, a virtual event modeled after Morning Report, a resident teaching format where a facilitator presents a patient case in a multi-step method to co-resident learners.
​
This year, we plan on building on the work we started with CYFAM. Our fourth annual conference, “Pamana sa Kinabukasan: The Filipinx Legacy as Seeds of the Future” will be held on February 17-18, 2024, in Los Angeles, CA. We also have events planned for you to look out for in the next few months!
With our community's help, CYFAM is now proud to be a federally recognized, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. We’re pleased to let you know that your donation is tax-deductible.
​
As CYFAM reaches new heights, we need your help to continue representing the intersectional identities of Filipinx Americans and aspiring to be effective change agents in tackling the most pressing health priorities in our community!
