Your Academy is here to help. We’ve assembled a list of resources to provide you with information you might need on a variety of topics. We plan to update this list often and if you have a suggestion for a new resource, please contact jnelson@tafp.org.

Educate your patients with AAFP’s personalized “What is a Family Physician?” brochure

New from AAFP, promote your value within the American health care system by personalizing, printing and distributing a free marketing piece about family medicine. The four-color “What is a Family Physician” brochure advocates the role of the family physician in treating the whole person, regardless of age or sex. The brochure is available as a PDF on TAFP’s Web site and online at the AAFP patient Web site, familydoctor.org. Click here for more information about the brochure and other uses for its text.
