April 13-14

Sacramento, CA

Lobby Day, April 15

CAFP’s annual All Member Advocacy Meeting (AMAM) is your chance to make change in health care policy! At the AMAM, you will hear from policy and political experts, get hands-on experience advocating for issues important to family medicine, network with advocacy-oriented colleagues, and meet with your legislators! From improving public health to increasing primary care payment, learn how YOU can be the change you want to see in the health care policy world.

AMAM 2024 will focus on utilizing a team-based approach to advance health equity. Primary care is a natural point of integration among clinical care, public health, behavioral health, and community-based services. Team-based care is a model of care delivery that can aid in reducing physicians’ administrative burdens while improving patients’ health outcomes through multidisciplinary care teams. This year’s AMAM will offer many of the sessions you’ve come to know and love, such as how to talk to your legislator. AMAM will also offer exciting new sessions you won’t want to miss including an insider’s view of campaigns and elections.

CME at AMAM: CME will be offered at AMAM. As we develop the sessions and schedule, please check back for more information on the available credits. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at cafp@familydocs.org.
