Academy Will Kick Off 60th Anniversary Celebration at Family Medicine
Weekend
Acknowledgment and celebration of the GAFP’s 60th anniversary
will be woven into all the Academy’s CME events this year, including
the GAFP Summer Family CME Meeting, scheduled for June 5 through June
9 at the Sea Palms Golf and Tennis Resort on St. Simons Island.
The GAFP Education Committee has once again gauged members’ needs
and selected topics that are of concern to family physicians
in Georgia. This meeting promises to be a combination
of lectures and workshops. Lecture topics include Hairy
Legal Cases in the Primary Care Office; and Obesity Goes
Hollywood: Weight Management for Today’s Patient.
Workshop topics include Common Spirometry Procedures
and Reproductive Health.
GAFP will also offer members the opportunity to take
two Self Assessment Module tests: Coronary Artery Disease
and Hypertension, along with a clinical simulation. SAMs
tests are now required once a year for a family physician
to remain Board-certified.
The GAFP is proud to announce a special all-day diabetes
workshop that will specifically target family medicine
residents and be available to all registrants. The daylong
workshop, to be held Monday, June 9, will include an
innovative lecture that will give residents the opportunity
to learn from experts around the state.
If all this was not enough, this year’s meeting
will include a “how to code” slide at the
end of each presentation. A coding consultant has been
hired to determine determine the appropriate code for
each clinical topic.
Along with the educational pieces offered at this meeting
will be many social activities. GAFP will host a welcome
reception on June 6, a family-friendly movie viewing
and ice cream social on June 7 and jazz reception on
June 8. There also will be limitless opportunities to
play tennis, volleyball, horseshoes and golf on the Sea
Palms property. And don’t forget about building
a sand castle and playing in the waves by the beach.
