SALT-Net is a regional Practice-Based 研究 Network that began with seed funding from the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation.

SALT-Net consists of both core and general members. Core members are those who are directly involved with the planning of and/or participation in network studies. 的re are presently 15 practices that qualify as core members. General members consist of our population of volunteer community faculty, who are invited to participate in all studies, 调查, 以及教育活动.
