Professional Affairs

Education Subcommittee

The Educational Subcommittee aims to provide a framework for all educational efforts of the AANP, excluding the annual meeting. The goals of the Education Subcommittee have been proposed by Drs. Alston and Bruch in 2006, and adopted by the Committee in 2007. These goals constitute a response to an ever changing learning environment and do not constitute rigid, unchangeable priorities. These priorities are reviewed by the PAC on a regular basis and decisions are made to revise or amend them.
