How Can I Get Involved with WAFP?
It is very easy to get involved with WAFP Commissions and Committees. Meetings are open to any member with an interest in the subject. Student participation and representation is welcome and requested on all commissions and committees. If you have an interest in being a student representative to a committee or commission please contact your Student Trustee or Jessica Solberg, the Student & Resident Liaison at the WAFP office: jessica@wafp.net or 425-747-3100.

You can also sign up to be on the list-serve for your favorite Committee/Commissions. Just contact the WAFP staff and request to be added to the list serve. Contact information for Committee/Commission Chairs can be found on the Committee/Commission Roster.

What Kind of Time Commitment is Involved?
Committees and Commissions meet 2-3 times per year—usually on a Saturday Morning just prior to the Board of Directors’ meeting.  Committees may also choose to meet at other mutually agreed upon times.  Otherwise business is conducted by e-mail or conference call. A schedule of upcoming meetings and events can be seen on the event calendar.

Do They Need My Feedback?
Absolutely! You are the future of family medicine and the WAFP relies on student input to help structure a number of ongoing programs, including the Student/Resident Track at the Annual Scientific Assembly, legislative issues, and on the finance committee, just to name a few.
