Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) represents 120,000 physicians and medical students nationwide. AAFP is dedicated to promoting and maintaining the highest quality standards for family physicians, who provide continuing comprehensive health care to the public. Treating patients of all ages and both genders, AAFP members are trained in a broad spectrum of patient care including pediatrics, geriatrics, obstetrics and surgery.
AAFP members represent the most influential specialty group in the medical industry and have vast purchasing authority for a range of health care products and services. AAFP’s member influence is highlighted by the fact that 23% of all patient visits are made to family physicians. Furthermore, family physicians write 28% of all prescriptions issued during office visits, and they are the most frequently designated primary care providers for managed care organizations (MCOs).
Marketing surveys of AAFP’s active membership reveal tremendous purchasing power and influence (mean age: 46; mean income: $152K; 66% male; 83% provide direct patient care; 90% practice from office; 100% graduated from both undergraduate and medical schools; 24% own their own medical practice).
