AFP Serialization Articles
The American Family Physician (AFP) ALSO series articles provide updated, concise summaries of the ALSO syllabus chapters, often with accompanying pictorial images. These articles are available online to facilitate access for maternity care providers who may not have ready access to the ALSO syllabus. Each article has been approved by the ALSO editorial board as well as the AFP editors and peer review process. The collaboration between ALSO and AFP is ongoing, with expectations for two to three articles to be published annually in 2008-2010. Please check back for future articles.
