The Degree of Fellow was established in 1971 by the Congress of Delegates as a way to recognize AAFP members who have distinguished themselves among their colleagues, and in their communities, by their service to family medicine, the advancement of health care to the American people and professional development through medical education and research. Fellows of the AAFP are recognized as Champions of Family Medicine. They are the physicians who make family medicine the premier specialty in service to their community and profession.
