Education Opportunities

Sponsor CME Activities
One of the pillars of the LAFP is our educational outreach to its membership. We are always looking for partners to provide primary care focused, evidence-based content to Louisiana's family physicians. This educational sponsorship offers your organization the opportunity to provide an educational offering on a statewide or regional level. This offering includes a 1-hour educational session during our largest educational conference of the year. The LAFP Annual Assembly and Exhibition is held annually and offers premier medical education for our members. The content must be primary care focused, evidence based, meet ACCME Standards and approved by our conference committee. The LAFP staff is eager to speak with you on how to bring your ideas to fruition.

Sponsor a Non-Continuing Medical Education (CME) Activity
The LAFP also provides regular opportunities for family physicians to gain educational knowledge, enhance their practice management skills, and to build closer relationships with their peers from across the state. Your organization can gain exposure during these high value member programs by sponsoring a district membership meeting or social activity (non-CME activity) and connecting with our membership in a more personal way. The sky is the limit and creativity abounds. Let us brainstorm with you to discover the right sponsorship opportunity for your organizational goals.

Educational content must be relevant to the scope of Family Medicine and meet ACCME Standards.
