More attention needs to be paid to the needs of FM residents and how they learn pediatrics. Fewer Family Physicians care for children in practice now than decades ago. Without making sure residents leave FM programs comfortable and competent to care for children, this trend will increase and children in rural areas will have less access to care. #FMrevolution #Medicine #MedEd
Thx Dr. Miller for this JABFM article on fighting #PrimaryCare collapse- his recs: Build/strengthen a diverse primary care workforce. Shift to capitation as payment model. Use extension services that integrate w/ public health & community https://www.jabfm.org/content/jabfp/35/6/1183.full.pdf #MedMastodon #FMRevolution

Why it seems like your doctor doesn’t care about you

There’s a clear disconnect between what most patients value in health care and what hospital systems and insurance companies want.

#HPV vaccination and regular screening can eliminate cervical cancer. Miseducation about paps and pelvic exams leads to people getting behind on screening.
#OBGYNtwitter and #FMRevolution, please tell people what you are doing and when their next pap is due!
I didn’t know what primary care really was until 3yrs of being an attending:
-I know my panel & my patients.
-I am not rewriting the book each time. I’m on the same page as my patients-more forward looking than back.
-I have generational visits w families
-I control my schedule and schedule them appropriately
-I know my med team, RN, MAs, etc
Don’t judge primary care until you’ve done it for years. It can be so so rewarding.

Only 15 minutes scheduled tomorrow in the clinic for a gallbladder removal? Luckily I had 2 months of surgery training in residency and I took a lot of notes.

#introduction

Hello, I am interested in #MedEd, #primarycare, and #publichealth. By day, I teach medical students health systems science, take care of uninsured patients, and currently study Vietnamese Americans and COVID-19. By night, I volunteer with Doctors for America and progressive Vietnamese American organization PIVOT. Always down for chatter about K-pop and K-dramas.
