It's a Wrap! The Final Updates from AAFP's Congress of Delegates
The leadership and staff at AAFP did a phenomenal job of transitioning the annual Congress of Delegates into a virtual conference this year.
While delegates missed the ability to network and catch up with colleagues in person, reference committee discussions, speeches from AAFP leadership candidates, and voting on proposed resolutions went incredibly smoothly.
Read about the events of each day from the perspective of your UAFP delegates and alternate delegates: Dr. Kirsten Stoesser, Dr. Jesse Spencer, Dr. Saphu Pradhan, and Dr. Sarah Woolsey here.
If you are interested in running as an delegate for the 2021 Congress of Delegates (which AAFP hopes to hold in person in Anaheim, CA), please contact Maryann Martindale.
New AAFP Academy President Says No to Status Quo
In her address as the newly installed AAFP president on Oct. 13, Ada Stewart, M.D., offered a lesson on a topic that FMX attendees might not have expected – U.S. history.
“It is said that the health care industry is recession-proof, but the primary care sector is decidedly not pandemic-proof,” said Stewart, a family physician from Columbia, S.C. “Even before the pandemic, primary care was in crisis.”
Stewart said 20% of primary care practices closed temporarily during the pandemic, while 40% were forced to furlough staff and physicians. Those figures are in stark contrast to the need for care at a time when millions of Americans have been infected by COVID-19 and hundreds of thousands have died.
“Let us not waste this crisis,” Stewart said. “For history has shown that it is only during times such as these that true reform can be achieved. More and more Americans have awakened to the tragic realities of our health care system: a system that costs too much; a system that neglects the poor, the disadvantaged and people of color; a system that is failing us during our hour of greatest need – the worst health care crisis in more than a century.” Read More...
