Represent TAFP at AAFP’s spring conferences

Funded delegate spots and scholarships available for NCCL and ACLF

posted 2.2.15

Each year, AAFP holds the newly re-named National Conference of Constituency Leaders and Annual Chapter Leader Forum together in Kansas City, Missouri. NCCL representatives and ACLF attendees from across the nation gather to discuss various issues, suggest policies and programs to AAFP, and receive leadership training. This year’s conferences will be held April 30 - May 2 and TAFP is looking for members to serve on the delegation or apply for scholarships to attend.

TAFP opportunities for NCCL

Spots are available for five TAFP members to represent each of the five constituencies: new physicians (physicians who have been out of residency for seven years or fewer), women, minorities, international medical graduates, and GLBT. TAFP reimburses up to $1,000 for expenses for each delegate. In addition, TAFP created two additional opportunities to attend NCCL with funding. These scholarships will be awarded to one third-year resident and one minority physician.

If you are interested in being considered for one of the delegate slots, please send a current curriculum vitae and/or a statement of intent to Jonathan Nelson at jnelson@tafp.org by Friday, Feb. 13. Be sure to let him know which constituency or constituencies you would like to potentially represent.

If you are interested in applying for the third-year resident scholarship or the minority scholarship, download the applications and send completed application forms to Kathy McCarthy at kmccarthy@tafp.org by Friday, Feb. 13.

NCCL delegates will be chosen by a panel of TAFP members in late February, and the delegation is highly encouraged to attend the Interim Session meeting of the Section on Special Constituencies on Saturday, March 7, in Austin. The third-year resident and minority physician scholarship recipients are chosen during Interim Session and will be notified after the meeting.
