AAFP's Annual Clinical Focus program is offering a new CD-ROM and, in related news, received a "thumbs up" from members in a recent survey. The CD-ROM, which compiles resources for care of the elderly, is free to AAFP members who ask for it.
ACF 2004 Caring for America's Aging Population featured these talks and materials, now combined on the CD-ROM:
- video versions of two Scientific Assembly lectures ("Sex After 60" and "HRT Dilemma");
- three American Family Physician monographs (Caring for the Elderly: A Case-Based Approach, From Page to Practice: Improving Care of Type 2 Diabetes, and Management of Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia);
- eight patient education handouts;
- more than 90 AFP articles;
- one video CME program ("Aging and Health Issues: The Family Physician's Role"); and
- six issues of the CME Bulletin.
The CD-ROM also includes articles from a February 2004 FP Report Special Section, "Caring for America's Aging Population."
AAFP members may use the Academy's online catalog to order the ACF 2004 CD-ROM or may request it by calling (800) 944-0000 and asking for item 2583. The cost to nonmembers is $25.
Related news: The Academy has conducted the ACF program since 1998, and it received strong endorsement from members recently. One question in the post-ACF 2004 survey was "Do you feel it is worthwhile for the AAFP to devote educational resources to an Annual Clinical Focus each year?" Only 2 percent of respondents said no; 94.7 percent said yes.
