The Florida Academy of Family Physicians (FAFP) is composed of more than 5,400 family medicine physicians, resident physicians, and medical students from across the state. The FAFP works to advance the specialty of family medicine by promoting excellence and improvement in the healthcare of all Floridians. Our priority is to help our members become the best family physicians they can be through effective communication, legislation/regulation, education, advocacy, research and motivation.  The FAFP is the Florida chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), which represents more than 124,900 members nationwide. Through its association with the AAFP, the Florida Academy strives to achieve the following goals:

ADVOCACY:

Be the leading advocate for family physicians and the specialty of family medicine in Florida to promote healthcare excellence for patients.

EDUCATION:

Be the premier resource for CME, knowledge exchange and professional development through the FAFP Foundation.

PRACTICE IMPROVEMENT AND CAREER ENHANCEMENT:

Enhance and support members’ abilities to fulfill practice and career goals and pursue work-life balance.  My Green Doctor is one of our member benefits that lowers office costs significantly while creating a healthier community.  The benefit includes a free Green Doctor Office certificate for the offices of members who achieve this program’s environmental sustainability standards.

MEMBER ENGAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP:

Emphasize and enhance the value of a united profession through membership.

The FAFP also acts as the active voice for family medicine, advocating key issues among patients, the medical community, legislators and regulators, third-party payers, and the general public. The FAFP continually works to communicate, recognize and celebrate the issues of family medicine, while helping all Floridians to understand that having a family physician is vital to their health. Additionally, we strive to promote interest in family medicine as a career by working with Florida’s medical schools to provide quality residency and medical training programs in family medicine. Today’s initiatives of the FAFP will ensure the future of family medicine in Florida.
