Last Chance - Deadline Extended to November 14 for Career Benchmarks!

The AAFP is developing a Family Medicine Career Benchmark dashboard, the first-of-its kind, providing a true transparency tool for the specialty. The dashboard will provide comprehensive compensation and job satisfaction data exclusively to AAFP/FAFP members, and will allow you to see how your income and more compares to peers in similar roles.  The dashboard allows users to filter for results by factors like:

• Location
• Demographics
• Practice type

Please take 5-10 minutes to complete the survey via the landing page, which details why family physicians need the dashboard, and includes examples of what the finished tool will look like. Don't delay, complete the survey today!  The dashboard can be a powerful resource for members ONLY if thousands of family physicians respond to the anonymous survey from every state and every type of community. Please take 5-10 minutes to complete the survey by Tuesday, November 14.
