American Family Physician (AFP) is the peer-reviewed and evidence-based clinical journal of the AAFP. AFP delivers concise clinical review articles for physicians and promotes the specialty of family medicine. While AFP is primarily focused on practicing family physicians, the journal serves as a resource for medical students. The current AFP summaries are useful to students in their pre-clinical and clinical years. As the major source of content for residency and board certification exams, AFP wants to increase medical student use of the journal. The AFP medical student representative will support the outreach of AFP to medical students to improve the visibility and rigor of the largest and most expansive medical specialty.
