The Membership Spotlight is designed to highlight our members who model exceptional leadership in Family Medicine. These members are leaders in their communities, their workplace and the MDAFP.
MDAFP highlights members through the MDAFP Membership Spotlight feature here
on our website, in the monthly newsletter, and on social media. Members who do
notable things in the areas of leadership, advocacy, community and public
health are suitable for the Membership Spotlight.
