Are you interested in advising AFHTO of the top issues facing IHPs in team-based care? Would you like to be a leader in working with IHPs in primary care to advocate for and to speak to the critical role of teams? Would you like to share and spread knowledge and learnings?
If yes, AFHTO invites you to apply to join the IHP Advisory Council! The council was established in 2018, and several two-year terms are now open.
This council provides input on IHP-related matters, gives advice and input to the AFHTO board and staff on AFHTO and primary care priorities, and fosters leadership across the IHP community within FHTs, NPLCs, and other interprofessional teams.
The council is a mechanism to advance best-practice knowledge transfer and exchange, to enhance collaboration, and to give IHPs the opportunity to communicate operational, governance, and other team-related items.
AFHTO seeks a diversity of professions and regional representation on the council. However, the primary role of every council member is to represent and be a voice and a leader for all IHPs who work in teams.
More detail is in the terms of reference, which can be seen on the IHP Advisory Council page on AFHTO’s website.
To apply, please complete this application: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Y9GNY5F
The deadline to apply has been extended to Friday, August 7, at 11:59 PM.
Any IHP who is part of a member team is welcome to apply. All applications will be reviewed by the AFHTO team, and new council members will be notified in the week of August 24.
As the summer IHP Advisory Council meeting is scheduled for the following week on Wednesday, September 2, from 12 PM to 1:30 PM, we suggest anyone applying hold that time now.
