Establish New Connections and Plan Your Future
One of the best ways to jump start your career in family medicine is to interact with practicing family physicians in your area. Take advantage of these educational and networking opportunities. Make your presence known.
With limited time and resources, new physicians face unique challenges. Your LAFP and AAFP membership can be especially helpful in your first years. The LAFP has developed a new physician toolkit for you with information and steps that you need to start your career- both on a national level and on the STATE level.
Have you recently graduated, changed jobs or moved to a new location? Please provide your most current contact information so you can continue to receive announcements of our new resources and take advantage of the tremendous opportunities included with your membership.
Membership in the LAFP/AAFP gives you exclusive access to several awards and scholarships that help residents and students offset the costs of their training and education - but you have to be a member to access them. There are also several opportunities that make traveling to national meetings attractive.
