At a recent meeting we asked family doctors “Why do you belong to MAFP?” 

“The MAFP is where I find my community of likeminded doctors who put patient care first. We also like to have a little fun too!” Emily Landrum, MD, Starkville

“I joined MAFP as a student and was privileged to participate in conferences. I have stayed involved because I have made friends in the organization. We share experiences, resources, and successes in practicing medicine. I now serve on the MAFP board and will always value the knowledge I receive from each family medicine doctor I meet.” Katie Royals, MD, Hattiesburg

“The MAFP is a large family of physicians who strive to improve the health of ALL Mississippians. I enjoy working with other physicians that have that common goal. I appreciate the efforts of many physicians from various ages who dedicate their free time for the betterment of our state.” Susan Chiarito, MD, Vicksburg

“The crossroads of members’ diverse backgrounds and practices provides amazing fellowship and learning. It’s an invaluable opportunity to expand my knowledge and experiences. The MAFP and its members are very active with legislative efforts that greatly impact my clinical practice and patient health/safety.” Jeremy Wells, MD, Hattiesburg

Family Medicine Compensation

and Benefits Tool is Here!

Another great reason to join the AAFP/MAFP is the new added benefit for members.  The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) just launched the Family Medicine Career Benchmark Dashboard, which will assist AAFP members in navigating career transitions. AAFP members can use the Family Medicine Career Benchmark Dashboard as a tool to see how their income, benefits, career satisfaction, and more compare with that of their peers in similar roles and backgrounds. The dashboard also provides insights to assist family medicine residents as they compare career options, and established physicians as they consider career transitions.

Family physicians can use the data as a realistic benchmark to develop a fair salary range expectation; evaluate an employer’s offer or make a counteroffer based on value; and demonstrate credibility, marketability, and an awareness of industry standards and trends.

While a high-level view of a few key statistics from the dashboard will be publicly available, use of the dashboard’s dynamic drill-down capabilities are exclusively available to AAFP members as a FREE benefit of membership.

Visit the Family Medicine Career Benchmark Dashboard today and take the guesswork out of family medicine compensation and benefits.
