The American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians is the only national organization committed to serving the unique needs of family physicians who practice osteopathically. Here are some of the reasons you should join the more than 25,000 practicing physicians, residents and medical students across the country and become a member of ACOFP:

Join for advocacy.

ACOFP significantly invests resources into our advocacy efforts so that the needs of family physicians are represented in Washington. From comment letters to advocacy education to face-to-face meetings with representatives, we work tirelessly on behalf of our membership.

Join for education.

Ensuring that you get the CME you need to maintain board certification, lead your practice and improve care is a major priority for ACOFP. In addition to free CME opportunities, we offer significant member savings on certificate programs, board prep materials, and conferences and events. 

Join for community.

At ACOFP, you're not just one of the many—you're a member of the family. Whether you want to join your osteopathic family medicine colleagues on a committee or mingle at a virtual or in-person event, no other organization keeps you connected to your colleagues and friends like ACOFP.
