Assembly Offers Readers Chance to Meet AFP Editors

摘要

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) will be taking over Chicago next month for the Annual Scientific Assembly. Activities begin Thursday, October 3, and continue through Saturday, October 6. Thousands of family physicians, residents, and students will be attending lectures, continuing medical education courses, and other presentations. Topics include diabetes, substance abuse, a variety of clinical procedures, practiceenhancement, career satisfaction, the role of family medicine in disaster areas, and the use of electronic health records. Also on the agenda are courses emphasizing the 2008 Annual Clinical Focus on prevention, diagnosis, and management of infectious diseases. Look for "The Prepared Office," an exhibit showing two waiting rooms, one with pandemic infectious disease precautions and one without those safeguards.
