FP Report -- September 1998 Make room on shelves for Academy Collection reference books
An innovative new series of primary care references, written by and for practicing family physicians, will premiere this month.
The Academy Collection is a joint publishing venture of the AAFP in partnership with Williams & Wilkins, a Waverly Company headquartered in Baltimore, Md. The collection of books will cover the concerns that make up the largest part of a family physician's practice, from children's health to conditions of aging, from challenging diagnoses to common office procedures.
Each book in the collection will be about 200 pages long and will be sold to AAFP members for $24.95, with a nonmember price of $29.95. But the whole 10-volume series can be purchased as a unit for only $199 (a savings of $50.50). Call the AAFP order department at (800) 944-0000 and request the item numbers listed below.
The first four books in the 10-volume series will come off the presses in time for AAFP's Scientific Assembly, Sept. 16-20:
- Office Procedures (item #R590) provides details for performing 22 common office procedures, including information on setup, necessary equipment, pitfalls, complications, follow-up care and billing and coding information.
- Office Procedure Forms (item #R591) is a companion book to Office Procedures, providing the forms for easy incorporation of procedures into your practice.
- Challenging Diagnoses (item #R592) provides tools to uncover conditions that present with subtle or ambiguous symptoms.
- Conditions of Aging (item #R593) covers 10 of the most common conditions and concerns in elderly patients and provides the tools to make a diagnosis, provide follow-up care, and counsel on risk reduction and health promotion.
Over the next two years, six more titles will be added to the Academy Collection. They are Musculoskeletal Pain, Occupational/Environmental Medicine, Endocrine Disorders, GI Problems, Children's Health, and Skin Disorders.
