You Love Family Medicine.
So Do We.
You and your fellow family physicians work hard. Your patients count on you to give them the best care, and you spend countless hours taking care of everything else it takes to be a great doctor.
We exist to power 130,000 physicians and medical students nationwide, as the only medical society devoted solely to primary care. You won’t find another organization that gets how hard you work than the AAFP.
When you join the AAFP, you gain a network that’s committed to:
- Advancing the specialty of family medicine
- Strengthening members’ collective voice
- Providing solutions to enhance patient care
As a member, not only will you help advance this important specialty, but you’ll also have exclusive access to our CME reporting service, discounts on hundreds of courses and products, and leading-edge career and practice support.

Chapter Membership
AAFP membership is unified, which means that members are required to belong to the national AAFP and to their state chapter. The AAFP has a chapter for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Uniformed Services, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Members are also required to belong to a local chapter, if one exists in their area.
Chapter membership makes it convenient for AAFP members to access relevant information and focused resources right where they live and work. Chapters offer local and regional opportunities to network, mentor, volunteer, take a leadership role, and get involved in the AAFP.
