The 2017 Congress of Delegates adopted Substitute Resolution No. 202 requesting that the American Academy of Family Physicians develop a tool that members can use to demonstrate the value of involvement in leadership roles such as the Congress of Delegates, Board of Directors, and other national and chapter leadership positions.
The AAFP worked with focus groups of employed physicians and employers of family physicians to develop the document “Value of AAFP Leadership” that describes a high-level overview of family physician involvement in a leadership role and focuses on the benefits to the employer.
It was reviewed by employers of family physicians for relevancy and is available on the AAFP website.
