KAFP

There is a lot packed into the KAFP Advocacy section of the website. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the many resources and information about how KAFP is advocating for family medicine! Let’s walk through each of the tabs under the Advocacy section.

Please read the 2018 Legislative Priorities. The Governmental Advocacy Committee develops priorities each year and the Board considers for adoption.  These are of great importance in keeping the KAFP on priority issues throughout the legislative session.

The Family Doctor of the Day page provides an overview of the FDOD program, how to volunteer and a calendar of volunteers.  There are still four open FDOD days left on the calendar, consider volunteering for a date while you’re there.

Visit the Advocacy Day page for the date & full schedule for this event each year.

Our Happening in Topeka web page has the following resource areas for members:

  • Legislative Update – Current and past weekly Legislative Updates recap the session.
  • Testimony – This is the testimony presented this session on behalf of Kansas Academy of Family Physicians.
  • Bill Tracker – Here is an overview of bills that KAFP tracks.
  • Health Committees – Members of Kansas legislative health committees that have jurisdiction over legislation that relates to health care and social services.

And finally, AAFP Advocacy is a listing of ways to become involved through AAFP. Don’t forget to bookmark the KAFP website and use it as a valuable resource.
