Education

Committee Description:

The Education Committee focuses on continuing medical education (CME) and graduate medical education (GME) issues from residency through the remainder of a member’s career.  The committee promotes quality CME programs provided by and through the USAFP and serves as the conduit to the AAFP for CME approval of education programs sponsored by USAFP members.  The committee promotes the development of curricula and fosters communication among the military training programs.  It is not intended to duplicate the Resident committee, but rather to address educational issues and faculty development.  The committee is charged with promoting affordable and accessible, quality Continuing Medical Education to the members of the USAFP and fostering curriculum and faculty development among military training programs.  Specifically, the committee:

1. Reports to the membership in the USAFP
2. Educates members about CME requirements and provides opportunities for CME
3. Assists the Annual Meeting Program Chair(s) in conducting CME programs as appropriate
4. Serves as a clearinghouse for training program resources and assists in sharing curricula and faculty development resources
5. Develops and maintains rotating curriculum for newsletter topics.
