Residents, AAFP


In addition to a Committee on Resident and Student Affairs, residents are appointed to most of the commissions as well as to appropriate committees of the Academy. Beginning in 1974 residents select two delegates and two alternates to the Academy's Congress of Delegates. A resident was appointed as an observer to the Board of Directors in 1984. In 1985, the Bylaws were changed to authorize a vote for the resident Board member.
