LIBRARIANS COLLABORATE WITH FAMILY PHYSICIANSFamily Physicians Inquiries Network (FPIN) offers opportunities for medical librarians to collaborate with family physicians on developing "Clinical Inquiries", evidence-based synopses of clinical literature which are published in the Journal of Family Practice, American Family Physician, and on the FPIN web site. The UNC Department of Family Medicine is supporting this collaboration by offering potential faculty appointments for UNC and NC AHEC librarians who co-author "Clinical Inquiries". Lee Kaufmann is our first FPIN librarian to receive faculty appointment as a Clinical Assistant.
