Alford Selected for AAFP Leadership Role
One student member is selected from each medical school to fill this volunteer leadership position. Student membership liaisons help promote AAFP membership to their fellow students. Alford will serve as the AAFP’s official on-campus representative and will work with other medical students who are interested in being involved with the AAFP.
Each year, approximately 2,500 medical students enter a three-year family medicine residency program, where they receive training that enables them to treat patients of all ages and both sexes.
Founded in 1947, the AAFP represents more than 94,000 physicians, residents and medical students nationwide. It is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.
