If any of the specimens, results or booklets are not received, please notify AAFP-PT by phone at 800-274-7911 for assistance. When your proficiency testing specimens are received, please examine the kit for incomplete or damaged material and notify AAFP-PT if necessary. The Event Summary will be online approximately 7 days after the close of each event by accessing AAFP-PT Web site.

It is the participant’s responsibility to know when the kits are due to arrive. All modules will be sent together by an overnight shipping service; a signature of receipt will be required for delivery. Remind the personnel in your office to be on the lookout for the kit and to refrigerate it upon receipt. A cold pack is included in the kit; by the time you receive the kit, the cold pack will be thawed and the contents may be warm; this will not damage the manufactured specimens. If you do not receive your kit within five days of the shipping date, please call the AAFP-PT office at 800-274-7911. We assume all kits arrive unless otherwise notified. We are unable to change the shipment dates, so if your office is scheduled to be closed when a kit is due to arrive, you will need to make delivery arrangements with the overnight shipping service.
