What is a TFP?

TFP are articles developed free of industry bias and are based on the best available evidence. Topics vary from issue to issue but are timely and consistently applicable to clinical practice. Every TFP includes:

  • Clinical Question: the area of focus
  • Bottom Line: a plain language summary to address the question and provide clinicians a focused answer to the clinical question
  • Evidence: the highest levels of evidence (E.g., systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials)
  • Context: an examination of the evidence’s limitations, of weaker evidence (cohort or case-control studies) related to the clinical question, guidelines, and important aspects of application
  • References: listed in abbreviated style, including the first three authors

My name is Smitha Yaltho and I feel privileged to work as a family physician. Why? I believe that being a family physician has been the best job any physician can hope to have. I have personally grown in my own abilities and skill-sets with diverse opportunities in ambulatory practice, acute care and work in Facility Living.  Working in primary care has been exciting and has also afforded me tremendous opportunities for growth while still remaining stimulating in its complexity.  I believe that Family physicians are trusted partners in patient care –  every step of the way. 

Why are you volunteering to serve on this committee?
I currently have an interest in Physician Leadership and  trauma informed care.  I have served as a director with the Board of Directors with the Edmonton North PCN, Edmonton’s largest PCN. Thereafter, I have worked as the Director of Medical Services with CapitalCare (also based in Edmonton) for almost 6 years. It is my express wish that my contribution on the ACFP board of directors will highlight the excellence of family medicine that exists right here and now within the Alberta health care system. 

What about the ACFP’s work do you find most valuable?
Ability to highlight and further support the excellence of primary care right here in Alberta.
