Think ahead: Mark your calendar to 2004
- July 28-Aug. 1, National Conference of Family Practice Residents and Medical Students, Kansas City, Mo.
- Nov. 11-14, Conference on Patient Education, Austin, Texas.
- Nov. 12-14, State Legislative Conference, La Jolla, Calif.
- Sept. 15-19, 1999, Scientific Assembly, Orlando, Fla.
- Sept. 20-24, 2000, Scientific Assembly, Dallas, Texas.
- Oct. 24 - 28, 2001, Scientific Assembly, Atlanta, Ga.
- Oct. 16-20, 2002, Scientific Assembly, San Diego, Calif.
- Oct. 1-5, 2003, Scientific Assembly, New Orleans.
- Oct. 13-17, 2004, AAFP Scientific Assembly-WONCA World Conference, Orlando, Fla., to be cosponsored by the Academy and the World Organization of Family Doctors.
A long look ahead: The last meeting in the prior list is really two meetings for the price of one. Attendees can learn both from AAFP's scientific program and WONCA's international presentations.
A short look ahead: If you're considering attending the sports medicine meeting this February, you may want to register early. 1999 is the last year for practice eligibility for an exam to obtain a certificate of added qualification in sports medicine, so AAFP's sports medicine course may be sold out early. In later years, you'll need to complete a fellowship to be eligible to take the CAQ test.
A look backward: More than 500 family physicians and others -- a record -- attended the 20th Anniversary Conference on Patient Education last year, an indication of the explosion of health information for consumers and of health professionals' commitment to teaching patients the right stuff.
