December 2001 • Volume 7 • Number 12

Order from AAFP at (800) 944-0000 unless otherwise noted.

Would you like to exchange ideas about nonclinical aspects of family practice with other FPs? The new Practice Management E-Mail Discussion List, available at http://www.aafp.org/members/lyris/, provides that opportunity. Share tips about negotiating contracts, staffing, improving productivity and more. Use your AAFP ID number to access the site.

For information on AAFP insurance products, visit http://www.aafpins.com/. On Dec 1, rates for term life insurance were reduced by as much as 30 percent. This is the third rate reduction within five years, so go online to check your current rate. Also, request a premium comparison for long-term-care insurance from as many as 17 carriers. Your AAFP membership means you -- and your extended family -- can get a discount of up to 10 percent off an identical LTC policy purchased elsewhere.

Proven value: Stay up-to-date on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of athletes through a CME course, Sports Medicine: Strategies for Treating Athletes, Feb. 6 10 in St. Louis. This program will also help prepare physicians sitting for the April 12 exam leading to a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Sports Medicine.

Proven value: Escape winter and earn high-quality CME in topic areas such as cardiology, endocrinology and rheumatic diseases at the Selected Internal Medicine Topics for Family Physicians CME course Feb. 11 15 in Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. Registration materials for this and the above course are online at http://www.aafp.org/meetings/ and are available by calling (800) 926-6890. For faxed materials, see "Quick Fax" at left.

A shipping fee may apply; Kansas residents pay a 7 percent tax.
