When Dr. Frank Domino said, "family physicians have the most fun," he wasn't lying. 😎 From rockin' out on Main Stage to making connections in the Xchange, #AAFPFMX has been about community, innovation and paving the way for the future of family medicine. If you're in Nashville with us, what are you excited to take home with you?

Yesterday, we left inspired. Today, we put in the work. 👏 Your patients are dealing with a flood of information, the rise of AI and uncertainty. Today, we discussed reframing how we think about AI as a tool in practice and how to be effective science communicators. Family physicians continue to be the most trusted voices in health care. By making clear recommendations to your patients and answering their questions with empathy, we can help restore confidence in science.

Today, @kishadavismd reminded us to "be bold, be brave, move to the front of the room." Because sometimes simply showing up and sitting in the front row leads to big things — and that's exactly what family physicians did today. You showed up. You elected new leaders at the Congress of Delegates. You learned new ways to meet your patients' needs. And you showed up for each other. We can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.

Earlier today, I delivered my annual address to the @aafp Congress of Delegates. It is an honor to lead this organization and represent the nations family physicians. I shared the work we have done, the work we must do and charted a course for the future of family medicine. But, importantly, I also acknowledged the strain our members are under: "Family physicians have never been more strained, yet family medicine has never been more essential. You are being asked to carry greater responsibility with fewer resources—to solve problems you did not create and navigate systems you did not design. And still, every day, you show up. But let me be clear: your commitment cannot become an excuse for the system’s failure. We cannot praise your resilience while tolerating the conditions that make your resilience necessary. Our responsibility is not simply to describe these conditions. It is to change them. This is why the work of the AAFP matters. Family medicine is not a problem our health care system must solve. Family medicine is the solution our nation must finally choose to support."
