Some of the faces of MAFP 32nd Annual Family Medicine Update - April 2024 - "Campfire Conference"
Congratulations to our newest *AAFP Fellows and members of the MAFP Board of Directors!
The *Degree of Fellow was conferred by Dr. Stephen Furr (AAFP President) on the following Maine AFP members:
Lisa M. Belisle MD, MBA, MPH, FAAFP & Marc Daniel Kimball MD, FAAFP
* The Degree of Fellow recognizes AAFP members who have distinguished themselves among their colleagues, as well as in their communities, by their service to family medicine, by their advancement of health care to the American people, and by their 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. From a personal perspective, being a Fellow signifies not only 'tenure' but additional work in your community, within organized medicine, within teaching, and a greater commitment to continuing professional development and/or research.
