Free Patient Education from ACOFP – Help Educate Your Patients. Spread the word! The ACOFP Public Relations Committee has developed an array of free patient education materials exclusively for your DO practice. Now you can download health awareness posters and an innovative new digital photo frame presentation for display in your patient waiting room. These helpful items are available, here, on ACOFP’s Web site.
Check out the following: “What is Osteopathic Family Medicine” — This new patient education product tells patients about osteopathic family medicine and the role of the osteopathic family physician in their health care. It has been developed for display in your patient waiting room and is available in a new format — as images to show on a digital photo frame. It is available in two content versions: one with a page explaining Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment and one without that page. Best shown in an 8” frame or larger.
Health Awareness Posters — Each month ACOFP highlights a different family practice health awareness topic in a ready-to-use poster format. They can be placed in a standard-size picture frame and hung or displayed on a table in your practice waiting room. Available in two sizes: 8-1/2” x 11” or 11” x 17”.
