Accept the @AAFPPrez Challenge

Dr. Wanda Filer was just installed as the 2015-16 President of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Dr. Filer shared some remarks at the Denver Convention Center yesterday. I invite you to check out the twitter highlights from the talk at this link.

During her remarks, Dr. Filer challenged those in attendance, along with all AAFP members, to tell the story of Family Medicine not only online, but also in person as well to your local community. I was contacted to be on the Get Social Health podcast which was recorded on September 30, 2015. You can see a portion of the podcast at this link and in the video below.

I accepted the @AAFPPrez challenge to share the story of Family Medicine and #FMRevolution. I extend the same challenge to all of my Family Medicine friends. If you let others tell the story of Family Medicine, it will be the wrong story. Use platforms, like social media, to share your story as a Family Physician, and share why #FMRevolution is important for the United States. As Dr. Filer closed her remarks today. "Let's Roll!"
