FAQs

Q: Who is included in the directory?

A: Active members (those with membership type A) of the AAFP, excluding Uniformed Services and International members, who have a work address listed with the AAFP. Active members are included unless they request otherwise.


Q: How do I have my name removed from the directory?

A: Active members may remove their name from the directory by logging into My Academy and choosing "My Contact Info." This online form has a box you can check to opt out of the directory. You will need your AAFP ID number to log in.


Q: What are the ways I can be included?

A: By default, all Active members have a basic listing that is their name, work city and state, and URL (if listed with the AAFP). You also have the choice of creating an information page or a Web site by logging into My Academy and choosing "My Web Site" from the links on the left. You will need your AAFP ID number to log in.


Q: How can I update my information in the directory?

A: Active members can update their basic listing by logging into My Academy and choosing "My Contact Info." To update an information page or Web site, choose "My Web Site." You will need your AAFP ID number to log in.


Q: What's the difference between an information page and a Web site?

A: An information page is a single page and provides brief information such as your practice name, location, phone number, e-mail address, medical school and gender. It takes just a few minutes to create. If you have a little more time, you can create a Web site and provide additional information about you and the other people in your practice, including photos; directions and a map to your practice; patient information handouts with your practice name; a drug database; and links to other sites you recommend to your patients.
