TAFP’s Texas Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Students

Listen to informative lectures, network with peers from around the state and participate in the annual Residency and Procedures Fair during the Texas Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Students. The conference coincides with TAFP’s C. Frank Webber Lectureship and Interim Session, March 5, 2010, in Austin, Texas, where students and residents can also attend meetings for the Section on Students and Section on Residents. During these meetings, TAFP discusses current issues of these two groups and develops Academy policies to meet their needs. Travel funding is available.
