Family physicians serve as the patient’s first contact for health concerns and studies show that this patient-centered care helps people live longer, healthier lives. The American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation (AAFP Foundation) Family Medicine Leads program focuses on supporting efforts to fill the workforce pipeline with both the quantity and quality of family physicians needed to improve the health of all people, as well as supporting the development of future family medicine leaders.
The program provides $200 scholarships to cover the cost for students and residents to attend this year’s National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students (National Conference) set for Thursday-Saturday, July 29–31. Winners of the 2021 Family Medicine Leads Scholarships can be found on the AAFP Foundation website. These scholarships are made possible because of donations from family physicians across the country. Thank you to all of you who support the future of family medicine!
