Get involved with the AAFP

Member interest groups are small forums for shared professional interests. Go deep on a topic meaningful to you, ask for peer advice when you have a challenge and even collaborate to suggest AAFP policies.

Browse the groups

Member constituencies and forums offer perspectives from underrepresented member groups, including women; Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) members; new physicians; international medical graduates (IMGs); and LGBTQ+ members.

Find a constituency

Getting involved where you work and live is a great option. Connect with local family physicians through your chapter. It can lead to attending education events in your community, joining local advocacy efforts or filling local leadership roles.

Your leadership matters to us. That’s because your involvement determines every AAFP policy and creates the road map for our future efforts. You’re a vital part of building the future of the organization and the specialty. Apply for an AAFP leadership position if you feel there’s more you can do to improve family medicine.
