The North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) is pleased to offer an enhanced Web site (http://www.napcrg.org) that is easy to navigate and packed with worthwhile information. The revamped Web site now includes pertinent information about NAPCRG as an organization, member services, annual meeting information, publications, and other valuable resources. There is also a link exclusively for NAPCRG members where they can search both member and consultant directories. Key features are highlighted below.
