AAFP to host 2004 meeting in Orlando
Celebrate the specialty with your international peers in 2004.
That's when the Academy will host the world conference of WONCA, the World Organization of Family Doctors.
The AAFP Scientific Assembly and the WONCA meeting will be held in tandem Oct. 13-17, 2004, in Orlando, Fla.
"The combined meeting will be an unparalleled opportunity for family physicians to take advantage of our Assembly offerings and the WONCA World Conference," said Daniel J. Ostergaard, M.D., AAFP vice president for education and scientific affairs. "We'll be able to learn from our international colleagues' research, from their experience educating their family physicians and from the ways they tackle their health care problems."
With an estimated 7,500 physicians expected to register for the AAFP meeting and 4,000 for the WONCA meeting, the event should be the largest gathering of family physicians in history.
The Academy won the bid to host the WONCA World Conference June 12, when the WONCA World Council voted in Killarney, Ireland, to head for America for its 2004 meeting.
