Get the most of your membership with the TAFP Welcome to Practice Initiative

Join your colleagues at a TAFP CME conference for free! Whether you trained in Texas or moved here after residency, TAFP offers one complimentary general CME conference registration for active members in their first five years of practice.

TAFP has three annual programs: C. Frank Webber Lectureship and Interim Session in April in the Austin area, Texas Family Medicine Symposium in June at La Cantera Resort, and Annual Session and Primary Care Summit in November. We hope you attend, get some great CME planned by family physicians for family physicians, and reconnect with residency peers or build your community. All three events have a virtual option if travel is not possible.

To take advantage, simply register with the email address on file with TAFP/AAFP and you should see the option for free general registration. Questions? Reach out to our membership team.
