physician of the day

Sign up for the Special Session

 

As a service to the Texas Legislature, the Texas Academy of Family Physicians provides a physician in the Capitol during legislative sessions. This tradition started in 1971 and the TAFP has provided a physician in the Capitol for every legislative session (including Special Sessions). Governor Perry has called a Special Session that began June 21 to address school financing. This session will run a maximum of 30 days.

 

If you are interested in volunteering your time to serve as Physician of the Day or would like more information about this opportunity please contact Paige Newman at 512-329-8666, ext 35 or pnewman@tafp.org.
