We’ve been hearing from family physicians across Minnesota about the rapid pace of recent federal policy changes and concerns about their impact on patient care and the communities we serve.
As a member-driven, member-led organization, the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians remains steadfast in our mission to support Minnesota’s 3,100+ family physicians, resident physicians and medical students in providing high-quality, comprehensive and continuous medical care for patients of all ages.
To help you navigate these changes, we’ve compiled a list of timely resources for family physicians.
