2021 Virtual Research Posters


TAFP’s Annual Session and Primary Care Summit promotes scholarly activity by family medicine students, residents, and physicians; providing a unique opportunity to share research with the TAFP membership.

The posters are designed to demonstrate a specific practice-based research activity, an evidenced-based review, or a case report (students only) — with an emphasis on practice-based research.

This competition was made possible by a grant from the Family Medicine Philanthropic Consortium and support from the TAFP Foundation.

If you’re interested in applying in 2022, visit the TAFP Research Poster Competition webpage for more information.
