TAFP residents and students elect their 2019-2020 officers
The 2019 CFW Resident and Student Track drew family medicine students and residents from all over the state. Participants received a warm welcome from TAFP President, Rebecca Hart, MD, learned how to break bad news to patients, explored physician employment contracts, got an in-depth look into the 86th Legislative Session from CEO/EVP of TAFP, Tom Banning, and much more.
In addition to lively discussions and presentations, the Section on Resident Physicians and the Section on Medical Students held elections for various officer positions. Officer candidates had the chance to talk to their colleagues about their professional passions and how they would represent resident and student TAFP members within the Academy. The following are the 2019-2020 resident and student officers.
