The
Woodlands
is
just
a
few
minutes
north
of
Houston,
but
miles
away
from
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
city
life.
As
you
exit
I-45,
you’ll
realize
quickly
you
are
not
on
the
Interstate
anymore.
The
name
says
it
all
—
the
25,000-acre
master-planned
community
was
virtually
dropped
in
a
forest
of
pine
trees.
Hotels,
shopping
malls,
restaurants,
and
the
famous
Cynthia
Woods
Mitchell
pavilion
all
take
second
stage
to
the
magnificent
trees
lining
the
streets.
Wind
your
way
through
the
woods
and
you’ll
find
our
Italian
home
—
for
a
few
days,
that
is!
The
55th
Annual
Session
and
Scientific
Assembly
has
been
planned
with
you,
the
busy
family
physician
in
mind.
We
know
you
need
quality
CME
hours,
you
want
to
discuss
the
future
of
family
medicine
and
your
family
wants
to
have
fun
activities
while
you
listen
to
experts
from
around
the
country
as
they
help
you
enhance
the
care
you
give
your
patients.
The
program’s
planning
committee
and
TAFP
staff
have
put
the
latest
topics
from
the
hottest
speakers
on
this
year’s
schedule.
We’ll
start
the
general
session
with
family
physician
and
TAFP
favorite
Louis
Kuritzky,
M.D.,
presenting,
“Five
Things
I
Wish
I
Knew
Last
Year,”
a
review
of
hidden
pearls
from
the
previous
year’s
research.
The
program’s
31
hours
will
include
hot
topics
like
whether
or
not
to
give
hormones,
safety
issues
in
patients
with
dementia,
how
to
protect
your
assets
in
case
of
a
malpractice
suit,
the
options
available
for
a
non-insurance-based
practice,
and
finding
the
right
weight-
loss
plan
for
your
patients.
Sunday’s
program
will
conclude
with
a
state-of-the-specialty
address
from
AAFP
President
Michael
Fleming,
MD.
While
at
Annual
Session,
get
involved
by
participating
in
business
meetings
or
socializing
in
the
many
networking
opportunities
available.
The
future
of
family
medicine
is
being
shaped
by
the
work
of
many
of
TAFP’s
family
physicians.
To
get
involved,
join
us
Thursday,
July
15
at
one
of
many
committee
and
commission
meetings.
In
addition,
we
are
once
again
including
member
favorites
like
Friday’s
Physician
of
the
Year
Reception,
Happy
Hour
Networking
on
Saturday,
and
the
annual
President’s
Party.
This
year’s
party
features
an
evening
of
wine,
dinner
and
special
entertainment
that
will
leave
you
laughing
all
the
way
back
to
your
room!
