The ALSO Curriculum - 10^th edition launched on November 28, 2023.!

The updated curriculum has been applied to the following courses:

• ALSO Instructor Course (available for Live course dates 12/14/2023 or later)
• *ALSO Instructor Renewal Course (available to Approved Instructors on 11/28/2023)

Reminder that all courses require the Learner to ‘Claim Credit’ at the end of their online course, to generate the credit, letter of participation and wallet card (if applicable) to their AAFP Accounts.

The 10^th edition Course Materials Webpage
All of the Teaching and Administrative documents on the Course Materials webpage have also been updated. Therefore, it is important to use only the documents currently found on the revised Course Materials webpage, for each course. Do not use Course Materials documents you have saved from past courses.

*Online Instructor Renewal Course – 10^th edition
The ALSO Online Instructor Renewal Course is accessible only to Approved Instructors. Therefore, course access lives on the Instructor Online Community webpage. AAFP log-in is needed to access. Completion of this course is a status requirement for Approved Instructors.

Learners with 9^th edition Courses in Their Account
Learners who have previously purchased an Online Course-9^th ed will continue to have access to that course in their AAFP Account until December 13, 2023. These Learners may download any components they wish before their attendance at a future, 10^th edition course to renew their ALSO Status.

Naming Change as of November 28, 2023
ALSO Provider Course will be referred to as the ALSO Course. Likewise, the ALSO Provider Status will be referred to as ALSO Status in most verbal and written communications. Sponsors may still see reference to the ALSO Provider status on the Course Dashboards. This is to differentiate from ALSO Approved Instructor Status for course planning purposes.
