Education Committee: This committee is responsible for all the educational activities of the Georgia Academy, including the annual and summer meeting, as well as regional programs.
Legislative Committee: This committee oversees all legislative activities and recommends action to the Board to assure representation of family medicine and our patients. This group also oversees the GAFP Political Action Campaign Fund.
Membership and Awards Committee: This committee serves a dual purpose, with the responsibility for membership recruitment and retention, as well as for all awards.
Practice Management/Managed Care Committee: The Practice Management Committee monitors managed care policies and issues that affect the business of family medicine. This committee is frequently approached to review businesses interested in offering office-based products and services to family physicians.
Public Health Committee: This committee works to improve immunization rates in Georgia and takes a leadership role in facilitating a comprehensive state approach to the mental, physical, legal and economic impact of domestic and youth violence on the health and welfare of Georgia and its citizens. The committee also supports our state grant, which encourages family physicians to do more developmental screenings for delays in children.
Bylaws Committee: The Bylaws Committee takes a fresh look at the GAFP’s mission and vision, as well as looking at the bylaws to ensure that the GAFP is prepared for the future of family medicine in Georgia.
Student and Resident Recruitment: This Committee is newly formed to look at promoting family medicine to our high school, pre-medical, and medical students.
