Handouts

Patient Information Handouts are provided to members for use in the office with their patients. These handouts have been produced by members and reviewed by the Board of Directors, but are not necessarily endorsed by the College. This is provided as a service to members and reproduction of the handouts is welcomed. If you have information sheets that you think would be useful to you colleagues, submit them for review to the Website Committee. Comments, questions or suggestions regarding handouts are welcome: contact the office.

These documents are in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. You may click on the link below to view the document, or you can save it to your computer by right-clicking on the document title and then left-clicking on “Save Target As” . If you do not have Acrobat installed, you may get it here – it’s free! If you have any difficulty opening or accessing a handout, please contact  the office and one can be emailed to you (352-376-1877, admin@acpeds.org).

All of these handouts are also available in a format with the TITLE ON TOP if your office has a display unit. Contact the office for versions in this format and they will be emailed to you.
