AAFP FMX 2027 — the Family Medicine Experience runs 20–24 September 2027 in San Diego, California, returning to the West Coast alongside the AAFP Congress of Delegates. FMX is the American Academy of Family Physicians' flagship annual meeting and the largest gathering in family medicine.
Why family physicians go. FMX is built around evidence-based education with immediate real-world application. Recent editions have offered 250+ sessions across clinical topics, procedural skills, practice management and career development, so attendees can build a schedule matched to their patient population and career stage rather than sitting through a fixed curriculum. The official FMX app publishes the full session catalogue with filters for topic, format and credit.
Programme structure.
- Clinical sessions across the breadth of family medicine — cardiometabolic disease, respiratory and infectious disease, musculoskeletal care, mental health, women's and children's health, dermatology, geriatrics and preventive care.
- Main Stage sessions each afternoon, where the whole community convenes for themed plenaries on the future of the specialty, navigating information overload and evidence-based care.
- The Xchange exhibition hall, with innovation showcases, hands-on learning stations and AAFP Central.
- CareerLink, offering personalised career guidance including CV review and coaching.
- Member Interest Group meetings and dedicated networking for new physicians and residents.
Credit. FMX is an AAFP-accredited activity offering substantial AAFP Prescribed and AMA PRA Category 1 credit, with the exact allocation published per session in the catalogue. The AAFP's broader 2027 calendar also includes the Whole Health Summit (Austin, 30 April–2 May), the Family Medicine Update livestream (8–12 June) and Family Centered Pregnancy Care (Milwaukee, 23–28 August).
Who should attend. Family physicians, general practitioners, family medicine residents and students, nurse practitioners and physician associates in primary care, and practice leaders responsible for quality and service design. For internationally based GPs, FMX is the most efficient single meeting for a full-breadth primary care update plus exposure to US practice models and technology.
Practical detail. San Diego hosts the meeting, with the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter among the official conference hotels. Registration, housing and the session catalogue open on the AAFP site during 2027; the AAFP's call for content for 2027 activities closed in September 2026.
