TAFP offers multiple SAM group study workshops throughout the year, at Annual Session in July and the two Primary Care Summit symposia in the fall as well as stand-alone programs around the state. Remaining workshops in 2011 will be held at Annual Session, Primary Care Summit - Houston, and Primary Care Summit - Dallas/Fort Worth. For more information, go to www.tafp.org/education/sam.

After the ABFM revised the new MC-FP program in January 2006, TAFP Communications wrote an in-depth report on the new 10-year and 7-year certification and re-certification tracks for TEXAS FAMILY PHYSICIAN magazine. See the story, published in the April/May/June 2006 magazine, and its accompanying chart.
