Join the AAFP
As the only medical association for primary care, our single focus is supporting you—family physicians in practice and medical students and residents training to be family physicians.
An AAFP membership reflects what matters most to you in your career. When you join, you’re also joining one of 55 chapters representing 50 states, the District of Columbia, Uniformed Services, Guam, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands—giving you opportunities to get involved nationally and locally.
The AAFP is here for you, wherever you are in your family medicine journey.
Students
Explore the specialty that serves the whole family. You’ll appreciate the free tools like AAFP board review questions and Match resources. You can also attend FUTURE, The National Conference for the Future of Family Medicine, which attracts more than 2,000 medical students every year.
Student membership is free. Learn how an AAFP student membership can help you.
Residents

“I opened a private practice last year...I’m moving toward direct primary care in January. I want to be able to offer as much as possible to my patients without referring them out to specialists and making them wait a long time to get care.”
—Minelva Donato, M.D., Ph.D.
Rejoin or Reinstate Your Membership
With demanding days, it’s easy to overlook membership reminders or inadvertently let your membership lapse. You can rejoin or reinstate your AAFP membership at any time to enjoy the benefits.
Chapter Membership
AAFP membership is unified, which means you’re required to belong to the national AAFP and your designated chapter.
Chapters allow you to connect with other family physicians in your region.
