Resident and Student Initiatives Fund for National Conference Scholarships

2011 National Conference Scholarship Group

The AAFP Foundation provides more than 125 scholarships for students and residents to attend National Conference each year. This enables residents and students the opportunity to explore Family Medicine through clinical sessions, procedural workshops and interaction with family physicians from across the country. Many scholarship recipients solidify their commitment to the specialty and develop their leadership skills through participation in the National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students.
