Can't decide what kind of doctor you want to be? Good news! Family medicine doesn't make you choose. Sports medicine? Check. Procedures? Check. Delivering babies? Check. Caring for entire families and communities? Also check. Where will family medicine take you?

Today, @kishadavismd reminded us to "be bold, be brave, move to the front of the room." Because sometimes simply showing up and sitting in the front row leads to big things — and that's exactly what family physicians did today. You showed up. You elected new leaders at the Congress of Delegates. You learned new ways to meet your patients' needs. And you showed up for each other. We can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.

Yesterday, we left inspired. Today, we put in the work. 👏 Your patients are dealing with a flood of information, the rise of AI and uncertainty. Today, we discussed reframing how we think about AI as a tool in practice and how to be effective science communicators. Family physicians continue to be the most trusted voices in health care. By making clear recommendations to your patients and answering their questions with empathy, we can help restore confidence in science.

When Dr. Frank Domino said, "family physicians have the most fun," he wasn't lying. 😎 From rockin' out on Main Stage to making connections in the Xchange, #AAFPFMX has been about community, innovation and paving the way for the future of family medicine. If you're in Nashville with us, what are you excited to take home with you?

Welcome to Nashville! 🤠 The early birds started getting their CME and everyone brought their best energy to the Assembly Food Hall networking events. #AAFPFMX is just getting started but we already know it’s going to be one for the books. 😎

As generative AI takes on more clinical functions, how do we ensure it’s safe and effective for patients? The AMA is outlining a path forward for FDA oversight that prioritizes meaningful clinical evidence, ongoing performance monitoring and physician expertise while supporting responsible innovation. spr.ly/6019BHRCwf

What are you missing? Before you complete your treatment plan, take a step back to ask yourself if there's something else that might be a contributing factor. In this #InsideFamilyMedicine episode, Dr. James Bigham shares how he uses this question to help identify obstructive sleep apnea: bit.ly/4gDIY78
