Upcoming Events

2026 Annual Meeting & Scientific Symposium June 25–28, 2026 | Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort | Miramar Beach, FL

Make plans to join us on the Emerald Coast for the Alabama Academy of Family Physicians 2026 Annual Meeting and Scientific Symposium — the premier educational and networking event for family medicine in our state. For four days, Alabama's family physicians, resident physicians, mid-level providers, and medical students will gather at the beautiful Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort for an outstanding program designed to sharpen your clinical skills, expand your professional network, and recharge alongside the people who understand your work best.

Our 2026 program features up to 14 hours of CME, with expert-led sessions covering the latest evidence-based clinical updates, practice management strategies, and emerging topics shaping the future of family medicine. Between sessions, you'll have time to connect with colleagues from across the state, explore the exhibit hall to discover the newest tools and resources for your practice, attend the Annual Business Meeting and awards presentations, and enjoy social events designed to bring our AAFP family together.

And because the meeting is held at one of the Gulf Coast's most beloved resorts, you'll have the chance to bring your family along and turn your CME into a true getaway. With white-sand beaches, championship golf, a charming village marketplace, and endless ways to unwind, Sandestin is the perfect setting for learning, connection, and a well-earned break from the everyday demands of practice.
