AAFP Scientific Assembly Recap
FPIN attended this year's Scientific Assembly in Chicago this past week, in order to promote Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) and PEPID Primary Care Plus. We were thrilled see some familiar faces in Chicago, and also enjoyed the opportunity to make new friends as well.
We also took pre-orders for our upcoming publication, the complete 2007 EBP compilation. You can now own this entire year’s worth of answers to your relevant clinical questions, all in one convenient reference manual. Find it on sale this December on Amazon.com for $98.99 plus shipping, or take advantage of your 25% FPIN member discount and pre-order at www.ebponline.net, for just $74.99 plus $5.00 shipping (product code: USFPIN).

PEPID Integrates Stedman’s Medical Terminology
