Benefits of Being an Academy Member

ADVOCACY

• The IAFP provides the opportunity to stay informed and enlightened on legislative and government relations issues that can and will impact the primary care landscape here in Illinois. We offer tools and connections for those empowered to advocate and engage with their elected officials.
•  Every two years, our Spring Into Action unites members across the entire career spectrum—students, residents, and active physicians—and from all over the state for a shared advocacy week. Each member could represent both the IAFP and them when speaking with lawmakers about the issues most important to them and their communities.

EDUCATION

• Our education offers high-quality CME developed by family physicians for family physicians, focusing on timely topics with relevant clinical and practice management education. Members can access free CME online and live through webinars. The activities provided by IAFP directly address the needs of primary care physicians in a genuine effort to improve the quality of care they deliver to patients.
• The IAFP offers members opportunities to earn CME credits and present at our conferences.
• We are here to assist you with recertification and re-election tasks.
