The AAFP National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students is August 1-3, 2024 in Kansas City, MO. The National Conference is the place for residents and medical students to learn more about family medicine, explore residency programs, and connect with potential employers. Take advantage of this opportunity to shape your career.
The WAFP-Foundation is pleased to announced the limited availability of $800 scholarships to represent Wisconsin family medicine medical students. To be considered for a scholarship, please complete the required online application by April 30.
If you have any questions, please email Madeline or call 262-512-0606.
Applicants for WAFP-F scholarships must also apply for an AAFP-F scholarship. AAFP-F scholarships supersede WAFP-F scholarships, so students can only receive one scholarship to the conference. Students who receive an AAFP-F scholarship will be eligible for a $200 supplemental scholarship from the WAFP-F to ensure all students are given the same opportunities.
Note: You must be a member of AAFP/WAFP to qualify for scholarships, so please make sure you are a member. Student membership is free!
Dedication
The call for dedicated, caring family doctors in Wisconsin is more important now than ever before as there are growing concerns about the future workforce. In an effort to engage and educate medical students about the opportunities in family medicine, the WAFP-Foundation is aiming to send 50 students to the 2024 National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students.
Importance
We all know the importance of this project in ensuring a strong future for family medicine in Wisconsin. As an academy, we have a significant influence in determining the success of this campaign. In eleven years of supporting this program, we have provided funding for 436 students to attend the National Conference, and 81% of those students have matched in Family Medicine. That is an incredible return on investment!

Thank you to all those who helped support 2022 Send a Student Campaign. Because of your generosity, WAFP – Foundation raised $12,000, offering 30 students scholarships to attend AAFP’s 2022 National Conference which was live! Registration was $175 per student to participate. Sending students to the National Conference is a cornerstone for the Foundation. The remaining funds from this year will be applied to the 2023 Students to National Conference. Attendees of the 2022 National Conference for Family Medicine Resident and Students give thanks to the donors that made their opportunity possible.
The pandemic brought a lot of challenges, but a dedicated group of students from our Wisconsin medical schools still engaged in the Virtual National Conference again this year with hopes to attend in person next year. Thanks to those students for sticking it out for another virtual conference and for the donors who supported them with donations so we could provide scholarships!
Thank you to all those who helped support 2020 Send a Student Campaign. Because of your generosity, WAFP – Foundation raised $14,850, offering 50 students (25 for MCW and 25 for UW) scholarships to attend AAFP’s 2020 Virtual National Conference. Virtual registration was $130 per student to participate, rather than $600. Due to the unique year, 12 students were funded by WAFP – Foundation. In total, 30 Wisconsin students were funded by AAFP and overall 53 Wisconsin students and residents attended National Conference. Sending students to the National Conference is a cornerstone for the Foundation. The remaining funds from this year will be applied to the 2021 Students to National Conference.
