Family Practice Inquiries Network (FPIN)

FPIN was conceptualized in May 1998 as part of a grant application to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) from the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU). FPIN was developed through the Center for Family Medicine Science at MU, a family practice research center funded by the AAFP. In April 2001 FPIN was incorporated as a self-governing, mutual benefit corporation completely independent of MU's Center for Family Medicine Science. FPIN is a community of inclusion that is committed to engaging every organization and individual who wishes to join us in revolutionizing primary care practice. As the community grows with faculty physicians, resident physicians and practicing physicians each of us benefits from the contributions of practitioners asking questions, providing clinical perspective, and participating in research; scholars writing reviews of the evidence and publishing them in the FPIN Clinical Inquiries series; and researchers in primary care, health services, library science, informatics and computer science answering critical questions necessary to translate research into practice at the point of care.
