CME, entertainment highlight 50th Assembly
AAFP's 50th Annual Scientific Assembly Sept. 16-20 boasts new CME and entertainment for you and your family. Here's a taste of what's in store in San Francisco.
New clinical procedures workshops will cover advanced techniques in vasectomy and in casting and splinting. A new computer offering will give you a personal consultant on your computer questions. The annual research skills workshop for the first time will require no added fee and will last a full day.
In honor of the Assembly's 50th anniversary, 10 of the highest-ranked speakers from other Assemblies will present case studies and field your questions. Two "critical issues" lectures will address quality improvement and the human genome project. Clinical seminars will include 13 new topics, such as hospice care, natural family planning and care of the weekend warrior (the exercise-impaired baby boomer).
At the All-Member Event, Carl Reiner will interview Mel Brooks, the 2,000-Year-Old Man whose jumbled memories result in crazy quips. It'll be fun for the whole family, perhaps topping off their guest tours, courses or the Youth Program's exploration of San Francisco.
