The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP), American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
(ACOG), American College of Physicians (ACP), and the American Medical
Association (AMA) collaboratively selected more than 50 physicians from their memberships to attend a leadership advocacy training in Chicago on September 23-24, 2011.
