The American Academy of Family Physicians’ (AAFP) 2026 Congress of Delegates (COD) is set for Sunday-Wednesday, October 18-21, at the Omni Nashville in Nashville, TN. The COD is the AAFP’s policy-making body and this year’s meeting will include debate on 56 different resolutions.
All members are encouraged to review the 2026 Resolutions and Condolence Resolutions and submit written testimony by Friday, September 25, directly on the AAFP’s resolution page. Member login is required.
After gathering member feedback and AAFP staff collected research, the AAFP’s reference committee chairs and members will convene in executive session hearings to develop initial reference committee reports. Reference committee reports will be published on the AAFP’s website by 5 p.m. on Monday, October 5.
The LAFP’s elected delegates to the COD may request extractions from these initial reference committee reports through the AAFP’s COD Community Portal by Monday, October 12. Additional extractions will be allowed by delegates during the first session of the COD on Monday, October 19. All other non-extracted items will be placed on a consent calendar and be adopted during the opening session. Extracted items will be heard during one of two on-site reference committees occurring on October 19 at 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Members can testify on extracted items, and reference committees will prepare reports and consent calendars for Congress to debate and vote on October 20 or 21.
