The American Academy of Family Physicians is currently recruiting 20 family medicine practices to participate in a one-year Office Champions project. Office Champions is a quality improvement, systems-change model developed to help family physicians incorporate the tools and information necessary to improve patient engagement in the area of tobacco cessation.
The goal of the Reimagining Ask and Act Office Champions Project is to support family medicine practices to continue to build on the success of the AAFP’s Ask and Act Tobacco Cessation Program by revising the program to include systems changes, training, educational materials, and practice resources specific to Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), with a focus on youth prevention and cessation.
Practices participating in the Reimagining Ask and Act Office Champions Project will receive materials, education, and technical support from the AAFP to support strategic planning around ENDS prevention and cessation, as well as $5,000 to cover administrative costs associated with the project.
The deadline to apply is Friday, May 31. Participating practices will be announced by late June 2019, and the project will run Monday, July 1, 2019, through June 2020.
