SUPPORT MN MED STUDENTS

We have a goal to raise $28,000 to send 35 Minnesota medical students to the 2024 AAFP National Conference.

The correlation between the number of medical students who attend the National Conference and choose to go into family medicine is undeniable—82% of Minnesota medical students who attended the National Conference with the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) since 2003 matched into family medicine.

How many students will you send?

  • $800 = 1 student's full experience (registration + lodging + travel)
  • $175 = 1 student's conference registration

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

The MAFP will match up to $10,000 in donations, helping to send even more Minnesota medical students to the 2024 AAFP National Conference.


SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Thanks to generous members and donors, the MAFP and MAFP Foundation have been helping to send students to the AAFP National Conference to nurture and develop interest in family medicine, increase the family medicine pipeline and grow the next generation of family medicine leaders for more than two decades.

WHAT MN MED STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“The MAFP does an amazing job of supporting students to attend the AAFP National Conference. Once you arrive, you are truly in the driver's seat on which sessions, interest groups, skills labs, awards ceremonies and student congress activities you want to attend. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and look forward to attending again in the future. [Funding] from the MAFP takes the financial burden of attending away, and I am very grateful for that.” -Hannah Strei, second-year medical student, University of Minnesota, Duluth campus

“The National Conference is a must for medical students interested in family medicine. Not only will you have the opportunity to attend engaging workshops and lectures, but you will also be able to connect with other future physicians, residents and practicing physicians; engage with advocacy with resolution writing; and learn about leadership opportunities with the AAFP. Last year, I met a resident who was an AAFP Emerging Leader Institute (ELI) scholar, and this year I returned to the National Conference as an ELI scholar.” -Sally Jeon, fourth-year medical student, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus
