Massachusetts Academy of Family Physicians

Massachusetts medical students are learning about and solidifying their interest in family medicine by attending the AAFP National Conference for Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students. This annual event provides them opportunities to attend workshops and procedure sessions, connect with hundreds of family medicine residencies and employers, and other organizations, learn leadership development skills and network with students, residents and physicians who have common interests.

MassAFP and the Foundation are jointly dedicating efforts to supply Massachusetts with a sufficient future workforce in Family Medicine. One way to address this issue is to have strong family medicine leaders in place to meet Massachusetts' future needs by engaging current students in the value of primary care and offering them opportunities to explore a career in family medicine.
