Improving the health of patients, families, and communities by serving the needs of family physicians.
About us
Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) represents family physicians, residents, and medical students nationwide. It is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care. Our vision is to transform health care to achieve optimal health for everyone. Our mission is to improve the health of patients, families, and communities by serving the needs of our members with professionalism and creativity. In the increasingly fragmented world of health care where many medical specialties limit their practice to a particular organ, disease, age or sex, family physicians are dedicated to treating the whole person across the full spectrum of ages. The cornerstone of family medicine is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care.
