FP researchers, take advantage of an unparalleled opportunity to learn about new studies, discuss the latest developments in practice-based research and review recent research findings at the 2007 Convocation of Practices and Networks, to be held March 1-4 in Virginia Beach, Va.

This year's meeting, which is co-sponsored by AAFP's National Research Network, or NRN, and the Federation of Practice-Based Research Networks, will feature plenary sessions and a keynote address that focus on the intersection of patient-centered care and primary care research. Specifically, conference speakers will address

how information technology can improve -- or, potentially, hinder -- patient centered care;
how improvements in treatment for clinical depression can be integrated into the primary care setting;
whether patient-centered care can benefit physicians' bottom lines; and
study findings on the representativeness of select NRN studies.

Participants also can sign up for an interactive pre-convocation workshop on research training titled "Putting Practices Into Research and Putting Research into Practices."

Interested? Information about registering for the meeting and booking hotel accommodations is available online.
