Home | About STFM and FFM
The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine is a multidisciplinary, medical organization that offers numerous faculty development opportunities for individuals involved, whether full- or part-time, in family medicine education. STFM publishes a monthly journal, hosts a Web site, markets member books, and coordinates CME conferences devoted to family medicine teaching and research, and other activities designed to improve teaching skills of family medicine educators. For more information about STFM, go to http://www.stfm.org/st_memb.html.
STFM has a major role in the implementation of the Future of Family Medicine (FFM) recommendations and has agreed to take the leadership in overseeing activities related to the FFM recommendation, Promoting a Sufficient Family Medicine Workforce. This means we will work with other partners of the family of family medicine to develop the best approaches possible for ensuring this recommendation is achieved.
STFM is also involved in other FFM activities that fit with our mission. To help us prioritize this work, STFM created a special task force to develop FFM activities and oversee their progress. For information on STFM FFM activities, go to http://www.stfm.org/ffm/updates.htm.
