If any of the specimens, results, or documents 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 seven days after the close of each event by accessing AAFP-PT website.

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, and 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.
