摘要
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is the professional membership organization for family physicians. Governed by its Congress of Delegates and Board of Directors, the AAFP seeks to expand and support family medicine residencies through workforce advocacy, data analysis, medical education policy, and specific resources for residency programs. Residency Program Solutions provides a consultant service for residencies looking to start up, improve, and/or transform. The annual Residency Leadership Summit provides residency program directors and administrators across the country with educational and networking opportunities through workshops, plenary sessions, posters, innovations, and regulatory updates. The AAFP Curriculum Guidelines outline recommended residency topics aligned with program requirements. Educational resources cover board exam preparation and clinical, career, and practice professional development. AAFP awards recognize outstanding contributions to graduate medical education. Overall, the AAFP advocates for and supports residency programs to provide high-quality family medicine education to meet U.S. healthcare needs.
