"Helping Your Patients Who Have Hepatitis C," an element of the 2003 Annual Clinical Focus on Prevention, is a free packet of information for you and your patients. The packet, mailed to all AAFP active and resident members, includes a fact sheet about preventing transmission of hepatitis C, a patient education handout and a summary of the NIH consensus statement on management of this disease. If you haven’t received your packet by the end of October, call the AAFP at the number noted above and request item #593.

Proven value: If you are preparing to sit for the American Board of Family Practice certification or recertification examination, consider purchasing a self-study tool: the Family Practice Board Review Self-Study Packet.

Choose the format you desire and also receive a 100-question test and a bound syllabus of the handouts to accompany the talks. Go to http://www.aafp.org/x18301.xml to order online.
