Residents
Tools & Information
Pennsylvania is home to 30 Family Medicine Residency Programs, all of which have active voices in the PAFP. With the committment of the programs, PAFP has achieved 100% resident membership for the past several years, bringing our 640+ resident members services, resources, and opportunities designed to enrich their residency experience.

Awards programs, leadership opportunities, advocacy tools are among the services our members value. Unique services for residents are equally important, the development of which has been led by the leaders of the PAFP Resident Assembly.

The Resident Assembly represents the interests of residents in the PAFP organization. The Resident Chair sits on the Board of Directors and, with the Vice Chair and Delegates, sits the Resident and Student Affairs Commission. We invite all resident members to participate in the annual meeting of the Resident Assembly each April at the Clinical Camp Conference and run for elected office or to be a commission representative.
