Members weigh in on AAFP's role via member attitude survey
Nearly three out of four AAFP members think the Academy is doing a fine job of representing family practice to the rest of organized medicine, according to results of the 2000 member attitude survey that were released recently. Better yet, the percentage of those who strongly agreed the Academy does well in this respect jumped from 25 percent in 1999 to 39 percent this year.
The message was virtually the same for how AAFP represents family practice to patients and the public: 72 percent of respondents answered positively, and those who strongly agreed increased from last year's 22 percent to 39 percent.
AAFP's representation to government also earned high marks. The percentage of members who strongly agreed the Academy was appropriately representing their views before Congress, the Clinton administration and other governmental agencies leaped from 19 percent in 1999 to 34 percent in 2000.
