New Feature Focuses on Patient-Physician Relationships

A patient's story, told in his or her own words, is accompanied by commentary from the patient's physician and resources to help physicians and patients. During the process, we also looked at reader research, surveys, and comment cards to help us determine reader interest and response to such a feature. During the annual Scientific Assembly last year, AFP editorial staff members visited with family physicians at the Publications booth, showed them drafts, and discussed their reaction to the idea.
