Education • Advocacy • Service
Our Pillars
Connect
Connect is our core pillar. We work to strengthen the GAFP community by organizing districts for in-person or virtual engagement, supporting members with speakers, training, and practice-enhancement resources.
Education
Education is central to our mission, offering CME through conferences, workshops, and online tools. These programs support lifelong learning and help family physicians stay current and excel throughout their careers.
Advocacy
Advocacy is another key pillar of our work. We engage policymakers, support family medicine through the PAC, and promote service via community health initiatives that address public health challenges throughout Georgia.
Service
Service reflects our commitment to connection and community. Through networking, mentoring, outreach, and GHFA programs, members engage in meaningful service that strengthens family medicine across Georgia.
