What is t2p®?
“t2p®” stands for Translation to Practice® and is a three-step process that complements CME activities approved for AAFP Prescribed credit. (Elective credit activities are not eligible). t2p® offers learners the opportunity to apply what they learned in the CME activity, and document how learned concepts were translated into practice as part of a three-step process:
Step 1: Commitment to Change—Learners complete a Commitment to Change statement stating what it is they wish to change in their practice.
Step 2: Implement Change—Learners implement indicated change into practice.
Step 3: Post-Activity Response—Learners evaluate whether the implemented change resulted in improved patient care.
What is the purpose of t2p®?
AAFP seeks to approve activities for CME credit that are designed to improve a physician’s ability to provide quality patient care. The result of quality education is better experienced when put into practice, and t2p creates an opportunity to purposefully apply learning following participation in a CME activity.
Are credits awarded per activity, or per presentation within an activity? How many credits may the learner claim?
Learners will receive two Prescribed credits for the full completion of a t2p® activity. t2p® is awarded at the session level. Therefore, learners may engage in as many t2p® activities as made available; however, it is up to the CME provider organization to determine the number of sessions it has the capacity to offer t2p® for since each session with t2p® must be tracked individually.
For example, a live meeting approved for AAFP credit is considered one CME activity. The CME provider organization determines, at the time of application for AAFP credit submission, how many and which sessions will have a t2p® component. As a result, learners can participate in a t2p® activity for each session with a t2p® component within.
