The American Academy of Family Physicians’ (AAFP) 2025 Congress of Delegates (COD) is set for Saturday-Monday, October 4-6, at the Anaheim Marriott in Anaheim, CA. The COD is the AAFP’s policy-making body and this year’s meeting will include debate on 57 different resolutions.
All members are encouraged to review the 2025 Resolutions and Condolence Resolutions and submit written testimony Saturday-Tuesday, September 6-16, directly on the AAFP’s resolution page. Member login is required.
Please note that the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians submitted a resolution to the COD for consideration titled “Updating the E/M Services Primary Care Exception.” Please consider lending your support to this important proposed change by commenting directly on this resolution.
After gathering member feedback and AAFP staff collected research, the AAFP’s reference committee chairs and members will convene in executive session hearings on Thursday, September 18, to develop initial reference committee reports. Reference committee reports will be published on the AAFP’s website by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23.
The OAFP’s elected delegates to the COD may request extractions from these initial reference committee reports through the AAFP’s COD Community Portal on Tuesday, September 30. Additional extractions will be allowed by delegates during the first session of the COD on Saturday, October 4. All other non-extracted items will be placed on a consent calendar and be adopted during the opening session. Extracted items will be heard during one of two, on-site reference committees on Saturday, October 4. Members may provide testimony on extracted items and the on-site reference committees will develop reports and consent calendars for COD voting on Sunday, October 5 and/or Monday, October 6.
Raise your voice and let your expertise shine. Share your thoughts on the AAFP’s proposed resolutions for the 2025 COD.
