Quality peer reviews help the FPM editors select articles that are authoritative, useful, and add to the literature. Submitted manuscripts selected for review undergo a double-blinded peer review. This review is completed by a panel made up of at least one FPM Editorial Advisory Board member and at least three additional family physicans or others with expertise or interest in the content area.
To become an FPM peer reviewer, fill out the Peer Reviewer Survey and return it to fpmedit@aafp.org along with an up-to-date CV. Having this information improves our ability to send you manuscripts on topics that your experience and practice type have best prepared you to review.
Reviewing manuscripts for journals listed in Medline, including FPM, qualifies for CME credit. The AAFP allows AAFP members to self-report CME credits for each manuscript review they provide, with a maximum of 100 credits earned per three-year reelection cycle. Credit should be claimed commensurate with the length of time it takes to review. To report the credit, go to the AAFP's CME Reporter. From there, select Scholarly Activity under Report Self-Directed Learning Activities. Alternatively, you may download a Reporting Form to report CME by mail.
