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. 

We invite you to recommend MDAFP Family Medicine colleagues and mentors who you believe exemplify Family Medicine in their practice and communities. Want others to know how you go above and beyond? Send us your story and inspire others by sharing the work you or other Family Physicians do outside of the Academy.
