The American Academy of Family Physicians acknowledges and embraces the diversity of its membership. They have created Member Interest Groups (MIGS) as a way to connect members who share professional interests. MIGs are a great way to network with fellow members and participate in interest-specific continuing professional development activities. MIGs offer members a way to participate in online community forum for discussion and idea-sharing.
Member Interest Groups Include:
- Emergency Medicine/Urgent Care
- Employed Physician
- Direct Primary Care
- Global Health
- Obstetrics
- Reproductive Health
- And Many More
Group members have the opportunity to:
- Network with fellow AAFP members
- Participate in interest-specific continuing professional development activities
- Deliver a unified message to AAFP leadership
- Suggest AAFP policy
- Provide input on AAFP policies and positions (upon request)
- Pursue professional leadership development within the AAFP
- Connect to existing AAFP resources
- Meet face-to-face at AAFP’s Family Medicine Experience (FMX)
- Promote AAFP membership.
