Physician's Journey quiz

Find your learning style and custom recommendations.

AAFPs 2025 FMX conference, the xchange.

Personalize your FUTURE experience

The Physician's Journey quiz is new at FUTURE this year! We introduced it at FMX last year as a way for family docs to personalize their conference experience. And they loved it, because it offers a fresh perspective on your strengths and what lights you up.

Whether you excel at navigating diagnoses, collaborating with your care team, or innovating for the future, your results can help you craft an intentional conference journey that’s focused on what energizes you most!

Once you’ve completed the Physician’s Journey quiz and have your learning style, you can use the info to:

  1. Navigate FUTURE with fresh perspective: Each session will be marked with the learning style, so it’s easy to spot sessions that fit your interests.
  2. Connect with peers who share your values: We’ve created chats and groups where you can find other students who share your values. 
  3. Focus your energy where it has the most impact: The quiz identified your top values as an aspiring physician and human. You can use that to find topics you want to dig deeper into.

You can look at other 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 Kansas City. You can also take it when you’re at the conference!

About Storycraft Lab

The AAFP has partnered with Storycraft Lab to offer this quiz. While the profiles are based on rigorous academic frameworks and behavioral research, they’re 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 FUTURE more meaningful.
