The National Conference for The FUTURE of Family Medicine
Congresses
About the Congresses
Residents and students can make their voices heard by serving on The National Congress of Family Medicine Residents (NCFMR) and the National Congress of Student Members (NCSM). Through these forums, resident and student members elect national officers and advocate for a variety of causes.
Resolutions
Each year, the National Congress of Family Medicine Residents (NCFMR) and the National Congress of Student Members (NCSM) convene during FUTURE to discuss issues of vital interest to residents and medical students. This discussion generates resolutions, which often influence American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) policy, programming, and activities.
