Safe travels and see you soon! --SAFPA BOD ABOUT THE EVENT Thank you for your interest in attending AFPARC 2023. AFPARC (L5OXO42G3 09AA) fulfills a portion of the 42G CMRP Cat II requirements and provides updates on key medical topics in the management of both civilian and military patients. Central Funding CMRP Track vs. CME Track Those who are CMRP track (centrally funded) NEED to attend the course to become current on their CMRPs. TDY training RIPs will be provided within a few weeks of the event. Those selected for central funding have already been notified by email. All non-centrally funded personnel (CME track) will still have the advantage of getting several CMRPs checked off via lectures and receive CME credits for their attendance. More Information for Centrally Funded CMRP Track: Those who are centrally funded will be separated into groups. Only those centrally funded can attend: Basic Medical Skills, Acute MSK/Ortho Management, and ABLS, and eFAST workshops. From Tuesday through Friday your schedule will be prescripted and received on arrival at the course registration/check-in. In the morning, you will attend a CMRP training workshop and medical readiness lectures in the afternoon. For workshops, please wear Air Force PT gear and athletic shoes. ABLS will require a separate $150 fee, members selected to attend will be sent an invoice. Please select the Centrally Funded option when signing up for the course - you may need to do this with your unit if using a GPC. Otherwise, collect your receipt and submit for reimbursement. Attendance lectures and workshops during AFPARC is MANDATORY for all Centrally Funded persons. Thank you and we hope to see you at AFPARC.
