Local doctor retains
AAFP membership
Dr. Werner Krebser of Washington has completed continuing education requirements to retain active membership in the American Academy of Family Physicians, the national association of family doctors. The Academy formerly was called the American Academy of General Practice.
The requirements call for members to complete a minimum of 150 hours of accredited continuing medical study every three years. The Academy was the first national medical group to require members to keep up with medical progress through continuing education. Because of their broad training, family physicians have the “know how” to treat approximately 90 percent of all human illness.
The Academy, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., was instrumental in the establishment of continuing education. Besides maintaining continuing education standards for its members, the Academy strives to increase the number of family physicians available to serve the public in the future.
Its continuing education program also provides a major basis of eligibility for Academy members seeking recertification in the Specialty of family practice.
