AAFP member constituencies
Connect, converse and collaborate with colleagues who share your experiences and interests.
The AAFP prioritizes community and connection for our members. Here’s how you can find your family within family medicine—colleagues and mentors with common areas of interest and a drive to turn discussion into action.
Member constituencies
Member constituencies represent AAFP members who experience systemic barriers, cultural challenges, and socio-economic issues within medical institutions, among physicians, and in their communities. These groups may be underrepresented in leadership roles at both national and chapter levels, encounter obstacles in accessing traditional leadership pathways, or experience disparities that necessitate intentional representation and advocacy within AAFP. Member constituencies are part of the AAFP commission on membership and member services. The constituencies include:
Black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC)
International medical graduates (IMG)
LGBTQ+
New physicians
Physicians with disabilities
Women
