Committees:
Our members are our lifeblood
There are a number of ways you can be active in the Delaware Academy of Family Physicians- serve on a committee, support a program, attend a CME event or sit on the Board.
The DAFP relies on member volunteers to chair, and sit on, various committees of the organization. Committee Chairs welcome new members, ideas, members and most importantly, enthusiasm!
