AAFP Foundation

James G. Jones, MD, Student Scholarship Program


The AAFP Foundation administers the James G. Jones, MD, Student Scholarship Program. This program was created as a way for Dr. Jones to demonstrate his continuing commitment to the education of medical students. His yearly donation to the AAFP Foundation supports one medical student to attend the annual Family Medicine Congressional Conference, held in Washington, D.C. 

The Family Medicine Congressional Conference is sponsored jointly by the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Academic Family Medicine Advocacy Alliance. The meeting is designed to inform participants of federal issues that affect Family Medicine and to provide training in effective lobbying — certainly a timely issue for family physicians.

The 2009 scholarship recipient is:

  • Laura Carlyle, a fourth-year student at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine
