Dear Valued PAFP Members:
Philippine Academy of Family Physicians
The Publications Committee is contemplating on shifting to an electronic format
for our scientific journal, the Filipino Family Physician. In order to minimize the
cost of printing and at the same time to keep abreast with current journalistic
practice of publication, the PAFP recommends using the electronic format.
We would like to know your thoughts about this. Please complete the survey form
below. This is to assist us in our decision as to the best way to protect the interest
of the organization and carry out needed reforms to address current financial
concerns without sacrificing our services to the members.
