AAFP'S National Research Network recruitment project is searching for minority and nonacademic family physician participants. The network is specifically recruiting physicians with underserved and minority patient populations so that its studies can better represent these patient groups. The network wants to recruit 500 physicians who meet this criteria by December 2004 and is nearly to the halfway mark. Would you like to join? Contact Tom Stewart, network coordinator, at tstewart@aafp.org, or call (800) 274-2237, Ext. 3172. For additional information, go to http://www.aafp.org/x3201.xml.

Proven value: Is board certification or recertification on your "to do" list in 2004? If so, plan to attend one of three AAFP Family Practice Board Review courses. Choose the course that works best for you: April 18 - 24 in Kansas City, Mo; May 9 - 15 in Seattle; or June 6 - 12 in Greensboro, N.C. The course features pre- and post-tests to help participants improve test preparedness and retention of the material. These courses often fill, so go to http://www.aafp.org/x15036.xml today, and click on the city of your choice for easy online registration.

Proven value: Do you have patients who have added "stop smoking" to their list of New Year's resolutions? Help them quit the tobacco habit with an AAFP resource, the Patient Stop Smoking Guide. You can purchase a pack of five booklets for $10 through the AAFP's online catalog at http://www.aafp.org/shop/915. A free sample pack of additional stop-smoking materials is also available at the site. Just scroll down to item #901 and add it to your order.

A shipping fee may apply; Kansas residents pay a 7.525 percent tax.
