Are you interested in advising AFHTO of the top issues facing IHPs in team-based primary care? Would you like to be a leader in working with IHPs to advocate for and to speak to the critical role of teams, as well as recruitment and retention of providers in primary care? 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 in teams. Meetings are quarterly, and AFHTO occasionally reaches out for input, advice, and guidance between meetings.
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 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
