About Us

Representing 3,100+ family physicians, family medicine residents and medical students, the MAFP is the largest physician specialty organization in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) is a state chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), one of the largest medical organizations in the U.S.
Support Minnesota’s family physicians as they provide high quality, comprehensive and continuous medical care for patients of all ages AND promote the specialty of family medicine in Minnesota.
Three priorities guide our work:
  • Grow the Next Generation of Family Doctors
  • Reduce Health Disparities in Minnesota
  • Strengthen the Voice of Family Medicine

Everything that the MAFP does—through advocacyprogramming and events and our philanthropic foundation—connects back to those three priorities, with the goal of advancing them and upholding our mission.

The MAFP is governed by an 18-member board of directors, which meets every two months. Directors and officers are elected annually.
