AAFP web site booms
Activity on the Academy's World Wide Web site grew significantly in 1998.
An all-time-high monthly usage record was set in November, when about 135,000 users visited the site. A single-day record was set on Nov. 10, when 6,244 users accessed www.aafp.org for one reason or another.
Among the possible reasons: A slew of new offerings, such as clinical quizzes from American Family Physician. Those who visit http://www.aafp.org/afp/afpquiz.html can take the online clinical quiz, check their answers electronically, review the related article and then report the quiz for CME credit. (CME quizzes from Family Practice Management can be found at http://www.aafp.org/fpm/fpmquiz.html on the Academy's web site.)
Another draw to the web site: AFP and FPM are online in entirety, including patient handouts.
In addition, CME hours can be reported online. About 1,700 members used that feature in November.
