Becky Wimmer - MDAFP Executive Director

Will you allow MDAFP to continue to serve you in 2025?

First and foremost, I want to thank you for your continued investment with Maryland Academy of Family Physicians. Without your loyalty and support, we would not be able to continuously provide our members with valuable benefits and actively develop Family Medicine in Maryland. Put simply, you make what we do possible. Click the link to learn more.

Can you believe that we’re 10 months into 2024? During this time, your membership has enabled us to accomplish so many initiatives:

  1. We were able to set legislative priorities to shape health policy, collaborate with other health care thought leaders for Family Medicine, work to increase and retain Family Physician workforce in Maryland, demonstrate essential role of Family Medicine and continue our ongoing efforts to improve access to comprehensive health care for families of Maryland. See highlights from the last legislative session.
  2. We held our Annual Meeting & Winter Refresher where officers and new board members were inducted, gathered new Fellows who received their degree to distinguish themselves among their colleagues and in their communities, and honored members who go above and beyond the call of duty with awards. We also provided our members quality, relevant CME sessions so you can maintain, develop, and increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance. All alongside your colleagues from around the State.
  3. We developed many new programs including a POCUS course to enhance your skills and services, a regional Residency Learning Collaborative to help ensure your future partners are well-equipped to care for the population with the goal to open up educational opportunities to all physicians, began the develop stages to create tools for you to identify patients’ social needs and address health equity in your practice, and more!

We hope you’ve been able to personally benefit from your membership with the MDAFP. If not, let us fix that right away! Call me at 888-894-2606, or email me at to see how we may better meet your needs.

If, like most of our members, you are satisfied with your membership, consider renewing now at renewal URL. Your early renewal will help us plan for next year’s programming. Make sure to let us know if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear your feedback!


Kind regards,

Becky Wimmer

Your Executive Director
