Being a member of the MAFP has allowed me to meet fellow family docs from parts of Missouri and practice settings I might not have experienced otherwise. It’s increased my appreciation for the breadth and depth of our specialty in our state.
Your membership with AAFP and MAFP offers you access to many tools that will help you advance your career, strengthen patient care, make your voice heard, and stay current on CME. Learn about the benefits of becoming a member
