Programs not individually approved by the AAFP but which have been designated as Category I credit for the AMA Physician's Recognition Award are automatically acceptable as AAFP Elective Credit. Programs not accredited by the AAFP or designated as Category I credit for the AMA Physician's Recognition Award are enrichment activities, limited to 25 elective hours each three years.
