Advocating for Family Medicine is an advocacy blog by the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP).
About the Blog
Family physicians play a pivotal role in health care. We want to increase awareness of that role and the impact family medicine has on the health of patients, communities and Minnesota.
We also want to equip Minnesota family physicians with the tools needed to be advocates for their patients, practice and profession. We want advocacy to be accessible to ALL our members.
On this blog, you will find legislative updates, invitations to take action on issues or proposed legislation, advocacy tools and practice resources.
