News & Announcements
Coronavirus: What Michigan Family Physicians Need to Know
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, local health departments, and Academy continue to monitor an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has spread to other locations globally.
Adjustments to ABFM Certification and Academy CME and Membership Dues
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly and the need for family physicians to care for patients during the outbreak increases, American Board of Family Medicine and American Academy of Family Physicians are making adjustments to certification activity, continuing medical education, and membership dues payment requirements.
In an effort to increase the healthcare workforce capacity to address the ever-growing need for care during the COVID-19 pandemic, Michigan's Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has updated the state's Educational Limited License for DO and MD students who have either recently graduated or will soon be graduating from a U.S. medical school.
