The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is a nonprofit organization based in Leawood, Kansas, established in 1947 to represent family physicians, residents, and medical students nationwide. It stands as the only medical association in the United States dedicated exclusively to primary care, emphasizing ongoing, personal patient-physician relationships and care that spans all ages. The organization aims to transform health care and improve health at the level of patients, families, and communities by supporting its members with professionalism and creativity.

Operating within the health care sector, AAFP positions itself as a professional society that supports clinicians and trainees who focus on comprehensive, continuous care in a fragmented system. A recent development includes the 2026 launch of a podcast addressing disability insurance for family physicians, reflecting ongoing efforts to provide members with relevant resources.
