Leadership Spotlight

Leadership development is an area of focus for the academy. The Leadership Spotlight is designed to highlight our members who model exceptional leadership in family medicine. These members are leaders in their communities, their workplace, and the WAFP. It is our hope that sharing these stories will inspire you to be a more engaged and active family medicine leader.

Nominations Now Open!

WAFP would like to highlight members in our communications who have demonstrated notable direction in the areas of Leadership, Advocacy and Wellbeing for Family Medicine in Wisconsin - and we need your help!

We invite you to nominate WAFP Family Medicine colleagues and mentors who you believe model exceptional leadership in primary care, in their practice communities and workplace. Nomination(s) should be submitted using the button below.
