MAFP is celebrating 70 years! On January 16, 1949, eleven family doctors met in Picayune to organize what became the Mississippi Academy of Family Physicians. Above is a picture of our Founder's Dinner from that same year.
In the coming weeks, we'll spotlight moments in our 70-year history on social media and in our publications. That includes February 1, the anniversary of the day we were granted our charter in 1949 as a chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
On January 30 during Capitol Day in Jackson, be there to celebrate our charter anniversary with cake and special presentations from Governor Bryant, the Mississippi House and Mississippi Senate.
You'll see the culmination of our 70-year celebration at Annual Meeting, where we'll have displays and commemorations of big events in our history. Stay tuned!

New Foundation Booth Unveiled
This year our booth focuses on educating the public about what Family Medicine is! Wednesday at the MSMA Alliance meeting at the State Capitol, we unveiled our new booth featuring photos of some of our board members. Each photo says "Family Medicine Is" and gives a definition and qualifications to be a family physician. Jewell Buckley of MAFP Foundation manned the booth and represented our Academy.
