Delegate Orientation


Selected Chapter Delegates: Congratulations on Your New Position!

Each year, AAFP constituent chapters designate one student member and one resident member to serve as chapter delegates to the National Congress of Family Medicine Residents (NCFMR) and the National Congress of Student Members (NCSM). While any resident or student member of the AAFP may speak to and vote on recommendations before their congress, only chapter delegates are eligible to vote in elections.
