The National Conferences have continuity in the conference faculty from year to year. (Many have participated in twenty or more of the 27 conferences held through 2016.) Over the years, many of the pioneers, key strategists, researchers and policy makers who have promoted the idea of community-responsive medical education have participated in one or more of the National Conferences.

Periodically, landmark national legislation is enacted (Medicare and Medicaid in the mid-20th century the Affordable Care Act in the 21st), each of which has proven to have unintended consequences that exacerbate access to care. Since then, similar groups have been invited to assemble each Spring. In 1990, a group of persons interested in family and community medicine, medical school reform, and advocacy for rural, inner city and other geographical areas of need, were invited to rural Wisconsin for the First National Conference on Primary Health Care Access.
