The American Academy of Family Physicians acknowledges and embraces the diversity of its membership. In an effort to strengthen all member voices from within the larger membership as a whole, the AAFP Board of Directors approved the establishment of AAFP member interest groups (MIGs) in 2014 as a way to define, recognize, and engage members who have shared professional interests. There are currently 19 Board-approved MIGs.
- Network with fellow AAFP members
- Participate in interest-specific continuing professional development activities
- Deliver a unified message to AAFP leadership
- Suggest AAFP policy
- Provide input on AAFP policies and positions (upon request)
- Pursue professional leadership development within the AAFP
- Connect to existing AAFP resources
- Meet face-to-face at AAFP’s Family Medicine Experience (FMX)
- Promote AAFP membership.
