2023 Southeast Family Medicine Forum

Join your family medicine colleagues for an informative and motivational 3-day conference in one of the nation’s most popular and vibrant cities.

TNAFP is honored to host the Southeast Family Medicine Forum in Nashville this year with a robust agenda focused on state and federal advocacy initiatives and other timely issues confronting family physicians in the 12 participating AAFP chapters.

There is no better opportunity to build important relationships with fellow physician leaders and chapter executives, strategize and collaborate on important advocacy issues, and share best practices to take back and implement in your home state.
