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.

Congress introduced legislation that includes relief from Medicare payment cuts, a two-year extension of COVID-era telehealth flexibilities and a five-year THCGME reauthorization, among other provisions for which the AAFP has long advocated for. We continue to advocate alongside the entire physician community in support of long-term reforms, including an annual inflationary update to Medicare physician payment. Find details in our statement and expect a full analysis from the AAFP in January. We urge Congress to swiftly pass the legislation as a concrete step forward to create a better health care system. We look forward to working with the 119th Congress to advance meaningful, longer-term policies to ensure everyone has access to affordable, comprehensive primary care. https://bit.ly/3VMA65s
