The American Academy of Family Physicians has selected Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Bernstein, Naval Branch Health Clinic Mayport’s senior medical officer, to be its next delegate to the American Medical Association’s Young Physicians Section.

AMA’s Young Physicians Section represents physicians who are under 40 years of age, or who are in their first eight years of professional practice.

Bernstein will join representatives from all states, and nearly 40 other specialty society representatives, to consider health policy issues, specifically those of concern to young practicing physicians.
