An exciting opportunity is coming your way if you plan to attend the 2004 AAFP Scientific Assembly Oct. 13 - 17 in Orlando, Fla.That Assembly will be held in conjunction with the 17th World Conference of Family Doctors, to be hosted by AAFP and sponsored by Wonca, the World Organization of Family Doctors -- and U.S. family physicians are encouraged to consider hosting an international delegate before, during or after the meetings. Physicians are sought in Florida as well as in U.S. cities where international physicians may enter the country or where they may choose to visit.
"We hope America and Americans will be the best hosts ever for visitors from abroad," said Daniel Ostergaard, M.D., AAFP vice president for international and interprofessional activities. "Involvement could include such activities as exchanging e-mail correspondence before the meeting, getting together for a meal at the meeting, or inviting an international guest to your home or office."
To learn more, go to http://www.aafp.org/woncahosting.xml. If you decide you'd like to be a host, complete a brief questionnaire that can be found at http://members.aafp.org/members/surv7/woncahost.htm. Once registration information is received from Wonca attendees, you will be contacted regarding your "match."
