|
Don't forget to fill out the AFMRD Salary Survey by September 30th! Data from this survey will provide a snapshot of current compensation in family medicine residencies.
This year, in cooperation with the Association of Family Medicine Administration (AFMA), the survey contains questions related to residency coordinators. Please work with each other to gather all information prior to completing the survey.
Each program should only fill out ONE survey.
Instructions for completing the survey:
- Download this worksheet. The worksheet provides a place for you to document all the information needed to complete the survey.
- Share the worksheet with staff who can provide the information needed (i.e. coordinators, practice managers, etc.).
- Be sure your coordinator gets the section of the survey specific to the coordinator role so that portion of the survey can be completed.
- When you have gathered all the information and are ready to complete the survey, please go here.
The more who participate the more robust the data will be.
Do not hesitate to contact
Chris Pyle
(913.906.6361) if you have questions about the survey.

AAFP recently launched a new online community built by and for family medicine residency clinic medical directors. This community will emphasize topics that help make the medical director's job easier by highlighting common challenges and best practices.
This new group hopes to create a global community of individuals who will support, challenge, and inspire one another by providing a platform for networking, mentorship, and best practice strategies. Medical directors are encouraged to share their knowledge, ask questions, participate in discussions and become an integral part of this little community.
If your program's medical director would like to be added to this community, please email their name and contact information to
