Where do family physicians go for professional connections with other family
physicians? Their clinics and CME conferences, usually.​
That's why the AAFP and NCAFP help family physicians in their workplaces and through
their CME! Our members stay supported, connected, and current on everything they need
for their practice and their network.​
Here's a good look at those connections from this year:
