Membership
We invite you to become a member of the Arkansas Academy of Family Physicians (AR AFP)!
While we position family physicians at the foundation of a primary care, physician-based health care system we also work to ensure family physicians become tomorrow’s respected providers of vital, quality health care delivered cost-effectively. We are champions of Arkansas family physicians.
We are the only organization that solely represents Arkansas family physicians. If you practice in a large, small or solo practice, our resources will help you address practice challenges and promote your career. Together with the AAFP we are committed to providing our members educational support, strong advocacy, the most current healthcare information and many more resources. It is our honor to support you as you work to create a healthy Arkansas.
We make it simple to report and track your CME and offer opportunities to earn CME throughout the year to equip you with the latest research and training. In addition to our advocacy efforts, we empower you with the tools you need to address health equity and the social determinants of health that impact your patients. We offer you opportunities to learn from others in your field by networking at our Annual Scientific Assembly and through our quarterly journal the Arkansas Family Physician.
Take advantage of the benefits of membership and invest in your career by joining today. Just click the Join or Renew button on the upper right of your screen. If you have any questions, please call our office at 501-316-4011.
