Tips on How to Get Into TAFP
Well everyone here wants to get into TAFP right? I guess so. But to get into TAFP is not that easy.
The only thing which you have to do is to "prove" yourself . Many of them in this forum have certain misconceptions so i though to write an article which will surely help you to succeed in your goal which is to join the TAFP programme Quality Comes First: Quality is everything here. We aim at high quality answers so that the query asker should not go searching anywhere else. In short the query asker must be 100% satisfied. This is called quality answering or quality replying. So How to Improve the Quality of your answers First of all have a close look at your answers. Do you think the query asker will be satisfied with your answer? Think Frankly please... The best way is to imagine yourself as the question asker and think that someone has posted the same answer like you Now, Are you be Perfectly satisfied with that answer ? If a little doubt creeps in your mind then you Must think over your answer. This is a general trick which i thought to share with you all. But i will list out some points which you need to keep in mind if you want to get into TAFP 1) Quality comes first 2) Try to add as much info you can in your answer. Just make it unbeatable 3) Dont focus on quantity as we dont judge quantity while selecting TAFP members. But yeah, a good number of posts are necessary to judge the caliber of the answerer. Thats for sure Practice and improve your knowledge. Knowledge is the key here. If you have knowledge in your subject which is education and career related then surely you can help anyone out here. So keep yourself updated... Last But NOT the least -Cut the Crap I have seen many questioning about the point system here and they indeed beg for points which isnt cool... Well, i want to tell you this secret. The points are not the only way to get into TAFP. Yeah its a good way to get yourself noticed in the forum but whats the use of the points if your post quality isnt good. So make a point
So all the best to everyone here and we hope that you keep rocking the forum |

Re: Tips on How to Get Into TAFP
Hello ForumModerator
Great job man... This is One of the finest threads here... Thats the way i wished the moderator to be... I am very busy today so not able to participate... but I was so impressed with your thread that I couldn't stop myself from replying!!! Since last 50 days even i was feeling ashamed for the people querying for the points and status in Admin's page... Some even misbehaved being rude for the receipt of scholarships... And most of the new people approach directly admin asking "i am new and how to proceed..." For this reason i also requested admin to direct such people to a new thread~ FAQ section... where such people could be given an answer making them speechless.! You created a milestone now... I am 100% sure that this thread will help the forum get much better... Lets see how this beautiful flower blossoms... Warmest Regards, |

Re: Tips on How to Get Into TAFP
Although I too want TAFP to go into my pocket, it seems there is something wrong in here. Suppose Mr XYZ has viewed a question post before me, while I was writing another post for another question. Mr XYZ has framed his comprehensive answer and posted it. Now, when I come to the post, I'll have to say "Mr XYZ's data is useful. Follow that", while I could have given my own similar answer in approximately the very same way. Otherwise, if I write the entire thing, the question asker will say - I'm satisfied with the first post.... Hey!The second one says just the same thing. Well, it seems that TAFP objective lies defeated here.
Do dwell on this fact. What's in Store??? nishant1110 |

Re: Tips on How to Get Into TAFP
well am really pleased to know about the real secret of answering the question here in this forum after nearly 48 hrs i join the forum....thanks to this thread and you sir (moderator)..
yeah i always knew that quality was the factor which decided my fate to become a TAFP member but didn't realize that it had such a big role to play... for 48 hrs i answered some questions with proper knowledge, some just to increase the points and one or two complaining about the points system...its funny that i did those to be at the top of the table...but now since i know the valuable secrets of becoming the TAFP member am going to strive towards it more focused than before..... thanking you once again sir... warm regards, suprit.... |

Re: Tips on How to Get Into TAFP
hi friend,
A group of current and future TAFP leaders gathered in Austin Friday, Aug. 15 and Saturday, Aug. 16 to hone their leadership and legislative skills in preparation for the upcoming 2008 election cycle and 81st Texas Legislative Session. The conference began Friday night with dinner and a discussion on the current state of health care policy by Kim Ross, a political jack-of-all-trades who has acted as a lobbyist, health policy analyst, grassroots specialist and media authority over his career. Ross told the audience that family medicine has the opportunity to step up as the voice of medicine because of increasing emphasis on the value of primary care and the medical home. “It is my personal opinion that primary care advocates should lead this debate,” Ross said. “Everyone is going to be looking at [family physicians], and when you do step up, you may incur some fire.” Saturday lectures armed physicians with the tools to “fight the fire,” beginning by viewing the TAFP Advocacy in Action video, “Doctor’s Orders: A Survival Guide for Family Physicians.” The conference continued with Ross’ Lobbying 101 seminar. In this discussion, he emphasized that relationships are key, whether they are organic—built before the legislator earned his or her office—or homegrown—built over time through contributions of time or other resources. One of the most important lessons attendees learned was to stay within their expertise as physicians. Lobbying doesn’t mean having a comprehensive knowledge of fiscal impact. Rather, physicians can more effectively state their case by expressing what they know: How would this issue affect your patients and practice? The Academy is also available to provide resources, talking points and additional lobbying tips. Alfred Gilchrist, CEO of the Colorado Medical Society and former TMA legislative director, continued the morning lectures by speaking on the "art of the possible." He gave an account of the medical society’s work in Colorado to secure the nation’s first standardized contract legislation and protect Colorado liability reform. He again emphasized the physicians’ role in meeting with local legislators before the legislative session to obtain their commitment to medicine. Two prominent media experts, Harvey Kronberg of the online political journal Quorum Report and Dave McNeely of the University of Texas at Austin School of Journalism, gave their tips on interacting with the media. Kronberg advised attendees to think in 20-second “sound bites” and avoid medical jargon that could be mistaken after the interview. McNeely warned attendees not to “get in a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel,” stressing that relationships with the press can be powerful and beneficial with proper preparation and respect. The final exercises of the day allowed physicians to lobby and attend a mock hearing at the Capitol. Split into four groups, attendees discussed graduate medical education, liability, Medicaid reform and managed care issues. Each group chose representatives to “lobby” the speakers, representing legislators and their staffs. From these examples, physicians learned to maintain their demeanor, even in challenging circumstances; make succinct points using facts and personal experience; and to not threaten, promise or negotiate on points of high tension. At the hearing, physicians appeared before a panel of legislators, played by Gilchrist, TAFP lobbyist Marshall Kenderdine, TAFP CEO Tom Banning and former TMA lobbyist Connie Barron. One physician from each group appeared before a House of Representatives Committee to state their case. From this exercise, physicians again learned that effective testimony uses personal experience and facts to craft the family medicine message. Attendees left the conference armed with tools to make a difference as advocates for the specialty. Two ways all TAFP members can become more active is by signing up for the Key Contacts program, which allows physicians to make use of existing relationships with legislators or volunteer to cultivate new relationships, and the Physician of the Day program, which brings a physician to the Capitol each day during the legislative sessions to staff the Capitol Health Clinic |

Re: Tips on How to Get Into TAFP
No. But you will be on the path of becoming it. As we already know that "Rome was not built in a day" so you have to be consistent in giving the answers. Only then you will be able to enter the TAFP list. TAFP list is a very respectible list of the consistent members working on the forums. Its a prestige to see your name in that list & even it also pays off into your bank a/c. So kep answering the queries in the best possible way to enter the TAFP list. Hope you have understood it.
GOOD LUCK!!! |

Re: Tips on How to Get Into TAFP
Thanks, a lot for providing such a valuable information about TAFP.
Its not too easy to become TAFP as it seems to be. Answer should be full of valuable information, so that the asker should be satisfied completely. It is totally right, that we must not think about points during answering a question. Due to this only, we lack some valuable points or information in answer. |
