Welcome new Family Medicine residents from @azafp President Felipe Perez, MD! #2026Match @aafp @futurefamilymed

I often talk about how Match Day is one of my favorite days of the year. Today is the day we get to welcome thousands into the family medicine community. On behalf of the @aafp, I’m thrilled to officially welcome each of our new family physicians into our community as part of the 2026 Match. This is a milestone moment for the next generation of family physicians and an important one for the health of our country. Family physicians are at the heart of health care in rural towns, urban neighborhoods and everywhere in between. You show up for newborn visits and end-of-life conversations. You manage chronic disease, deliver babies, support mental health, advocate for prevention and help families navigate an increasingly complex health system. Where there are people, there are family physicians working to make communities healthier. To every new family medicine resident: we are proud of you, and we are ready to support you. The AAFP is here at every step of your journey, from advancing policies that strengthen primary care, supporting your well-being and providing career and leadership resources so you can thrive in whatever path you choose. Thank you for answering the call to serve. The future of family medicine is bright because of you.

Removing the universal recommendation for Hepatitis B vaccination could result in thousands of chronic HepB infections, leading to severe complications like liver cancer and death. The AAFP strongly supports maintaining universal HepB vaccination at birth, and we call on @CDCgov to ensure this safety net continues to protect newborns and life-saving protection remains the standard of care.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🦃🍁🍽#FMRevolution #Familydocsdoitall #turkeyday25
