The Iowa Academy of Family Physicians is a statewide professional association representing family medicine doctors, including physicians, residents, and students. The non-profit company is based in Des Moines, IA. It advocates for family physicians who provide comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous primary care, with many members serving rural and small-town communities. The organization supports its members through education, advocacy, and resources, including state-mandated continuing medical education on topics such as chronic pain management, opioid prescribing, end-of-life care, abuse reporting, immunizations, and specialized training like medical examiner certification. It addresses healthcare challenges such as the shortage of primary care providers and the opioid crisis by promoting mentorship programs, offering continuing education, and facilitating access to national toolkits and training networks. The academy engages in legislative advocacy, supports loan repayment programs to encourage rural practice, and maintains a political action committee to influence health policy. Its philanthropic arm supports research and educational activities to enhance healthcare quality in the state. The organization provides immunization resources and collaborates with national and state organizations to ensure up-to-date information.
