Personalize your FMX experience
The Physician's Journey was introduced at FMX 2025 as a new way to personalize the conference experience. Attendees loved it! It’s an easy way to pause and think about what you find most meaningful in your work. You can then create an intentional conference experience knowing what energizes you!
A tool for self-reflection
Once you’ve completed the Physician’s Journey and know your learning style, you can use the data to:
- Navigate FMX with fresh perspective: Each session will be marked with the learning style, so it’s easy to spot sessions that fit your interests. If there’s a style that you’re intrigued by and would like to learn more about
- Connect with peers who share your values: We’ve created chats and groups where you can find other attendees who share your values.
- Focus your energy where it has the most impact: The journey identified your top values as a physician and human. You can use that to find topics you want to dig deeper into.
You can also look at other physician profiles for ideas of areas you’d like to expand on. For instance, a Creator might find that an Explorer's insights help refine their vision.
It’s a fun and insightful way to prepare for your time in Nashville. You can also take it when you’re at the conference!

About Storycraft Lab
The AAFP has partnered with Storycraft Lab to create custom conference profiles. While the profiles are based on rigorous academic frameworks and behavioral research, they are starting points for exploration rather than fixed labels. The real value is in the reflection. The result is meant to offer a new lens for looking at your work and how you can make your time at FMX more meaningful.
