AAFP LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP

doi:10.1370/afm.2600

Accessing the best family medicine resources for each visitor’s specific needs from anywhere is easier now that the AAFP has rolled out a new website and mobile app.

The launch of the new aafp.org and AAFP app on August 17, 2020 was the Academy’s first step in building a user experience that’s seamless across computers and mobile devices so visitors can easily use the wide array of AAFP tools to serve patients, manage practices, receive CME credit, succeed in medical school and residency, and advocate for themselves and their patients.

Visitors to the new website will find

easier access to all their AAFP needs, whether on a mobile device or a desktop
expandable mega-menus that put up needed information more quickly
content prioritized for different types of members – practicing family physicians, residents, and students

In addition to the new website, the AAFP app has switched to a new version for those whose apps are set to update automatically, or it can be updated manually. It now combines the features of the previous AAFP app as well as the American Family Physician and FPM journal apps in one place with

a simpler interface for a better user experience
journal content to read and bookmark
improved audio functionality for mobile learning
new members-only audio content
CME reporting and transcripts
Board-style questions for review
clinical recommendations
in-app purchasing for select AAFP products

These upgrades brought changes to the login process for both the website and the app, which have switched to use the e-mail address on file with the AAFP as each member’s default username. Because each member needs a unique username, it’s important to note that those with shared e-mail addresses, such as generic practice addresses, will need to update their information.

Addresses on file may be changed by contacting the AAFP Member Resource Center at aafp{at}aafp.org or 800-274-2237.
