CAFP Committees
The majority of CAFP Committees are open for all members to join. Committees are a great way to engage with the CAFP in a less time intensive way. All committees meet primarily by conference call, and members from across Colorado are encouraged to participate.
Are you interested in helping family physicians be lifelong learners? Maybe you plan the best BBQ on your block? The CAFP Education Committee is a great place to help choose what topics are featured at our Annual Summit, plan additional events, and make sure all physician voices are represented in CAFP’s educational efforts.

If you’re a policy wonk who loves CNN, or someone who wants to see bigger, broader change on the state level, this is the committee for you. The CAFP Legislative Committee discusses key policy issues for the CAFP to focus on and turns those issues into action at the legislature. There are also opportunities for committee members to join external policy advisory councils and coalitions working to advance common goals.

Family physicians are the frontline of community health, which makes them essential to advocating for sound public health policies and behavior. The CAFP Health of the Public and Member Engagement Committee works to engage our members, patients, and the public in promoting family medicine, sound public health, and CAFP values. In this committee, we discuss the critical public health issues you see in your community, shape public-facing communications about how family physicians are the foundation of our healthcare system, and discuss ways to help physicians deal with emerging issues like violence in the workplace and finding career fulfillment.
