Three weeks remain to submit presentation abstracts and award nominations for AFHTO 2012 conference – Demonstrating and Celebrating the Value of Family Health Teams.
Click on the links below to:
- Submit an abstract for a workshop, presentation or poster you would like to share with your peers.
- Nominate a FHT or individual to be recognized for achievement in one or more of these theme areas with a Bright Light award.
- Review the theme categories for the presentations and awards
- See who is serving on the working groups for each theme. (Additional working group members are most welcome!)
This year the call for presentation abstracts may be of particular interest to Pharmacists and Mental Health/Social Workers. Leaders from these two IHP groups have come forward to put together interdisciplinary presentations that have particular focus on, respectively, medications and mental health.
Contributing to the AFHTO conference in any of these ways gives you the opportunity to showcase the value of FHTs and promote the conditions to build on that value. It also gives you the personal opportunity to use your leadership skills, learn more from your peers, strengthen your personal network across FHTs, and receive greater recognition across the FHT community.
