On August 13, the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians submitted two resolutions for the consideration of the 2019 American Academy of Family Physicians Congress of Delegates which will be held Monday-Wednesday, September 23-25, in Philadelphia.
The first resolution, Contraception Coverage as Part of Minimum Benefits Package, calls for the AAFP to support ensuring coverage of all Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive drugs, devices, and products as well as voluntary sterilization procedures by private and public entities as part of a minimum benefits plan.
The second resolution, Expand ACGME Core Faculty Member Requirements, calls for the AAFP to write a letter to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) encouraging them to expand core faculty requirements for inpatient pediatrics and/or obstetrics such that these requirements could be satisfied via pediatrician and obstetrician faculty members.
