Women in Family Medicine, Proportionate Representation in Leadership Roles

The American Academy of Family Physicians confirms its policies on women in family medicine by encouraging women to: (a) continue to enter the specialty of family medicine; (b) participate actively in all Academy programs and activities, and (c) participate at all levels of leadership, and ensuring that the personal and professional development of women family physicians is addressed.

The AAFP and its constituent chapters strive for proportionate representation for women in leadership roles in the Academy. (1988) (2005)
