Michigan Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) is seeking candidates for its Advocacy and Leadership Development Program on Friday, December 4, 2020, in Downtown Lansing. This one-day immersion program will change the way you think about advocacy and help shape you into an advocacy leader in your clinic, institution, or community. MAFP will provide lunch and refreshments throughout the day.

REQUIREMENTS
Application eligibility is open to members of MAFP, with preference given to individuals who have not been previously engaged with MAFP committees or other Academy leadership initiatives.
