Nominate yourself or a colleague for one of TAFP’s annual awards

Do you have a colleague who inspires you; one whom you feel is the “best of the best?” If so, please consider nominating him or her for one of TAFP’s annual awards: Texas Family Physician of the Year, Physician Emeritus, the Exemplary Teaching Awards, Public Health Award, Humanitarian Award, or the Diversity and Health Equity Leadership Award. Current TAFP officers are not eligible for any awards.

Awards are presented during TAFP’s Annual Session and Primary Care Summit in the fall. For more information, call TAFP at (512) 329-8666 or email tafp@tafp.org.
