Benefits of Being an Academy Member

When you join the American Academy of Family Physicians, you are automatically a member of your state chapter.

Join AAFP



IAFP committees and task forces enable members to participate in the Academy from any place in any stage. Member Interest Groups (MIGs) connect members on common interests to build on their knowledge, find solutions and work collaboratively to affect changes to help their colleagues and their patients. IAFP is a place for family medicine physicians to look to the future for themselves and for the future of their profession; to share about their past experiences, their current situations and their future hopes for themselves personally and professionally.

ADVOCACY

  • IAFP offers the opportunity to stay informed and enlightened on legislative and government relations issues that can and will affect the primary care landscape here in Illinois. We provide tools and connections for those who are empowered to advocate and engage with their elected officials.
  • Every two years our Spring into Action unites members across the career spectrum (student, resident and active physicians) and from around the state in a common advocacy week. Each member can represent IAFP and themselves in conversation with lawmakers on the issues that matter most to them and their community.

EDUCATION

  • IAFP Medical Education is high-quality CME developed by family physicians for family physicians on timely topics with relevant clinical and practice management education. Members can access free CME online and live through webinars. The activities offered by IAFP speak directly to the needs of the primary care physician in a true effort to improve the caliber of care they provide to patients.
  • IAFP provides opportunities for members to develop CME and present at our conferences.
  • We are here to keep you on task for recertification and re‐election.
