The AAFP has recruited 50 family medicine offices (1-page PDF. About PDFs) for a pilot project that encourages and teaches Office Champions to implement system changes to integrate tobacco cessation activities into daily office routines.
Practices participating in the pilot have designated an Office Champion to lead the project and communicate results to the AAFP, and a physician champion to ensure that the Office Champion receives the physician and staff support he or she needs to implement the project.
