American Academy of Family Physicians remote jobs and company guide

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) stands as the national association representing over 124,500 family physicians, residents, and medical students across all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and internationally. Founded in 1947, the AAFP has spent more than seven decades advancing the specialty of family medicine and supporting the physicians who serve as the cornerstone of healthcare in America.

The organization's mission is straightforward: strengthen family physicians and the communities they care for. Through decades of proven representation, leadership, and advocacy, the AAFP supports its members with high standards and dynamic opportunities. AAFP provides comprehensive continuing medical education (CME), publishes clinical journals including American Family Physician with a circulation exceeding 180,000 physicians, delivers practice management resources, and advocates at local, state, and national levels for policies that benefit family medicine and patient care.

Family physicians trained through AAFP provide continuing and comprehensive medical care to patients regardless of gender, age, or medical issue. Approximately one in five of all office visits in America - about 193 million annually - are made to family physicians, who deliver more care for underserved and rural populations than any other medical specialty. The AAFP's annual Family Medicine Experience (FMX) draws over 10,000 physicians and visitors, making it the largest CME event for the specialty. The organization maintains its national headquarters in Leawood, Kansas.
