"However, primary health workers deliver the vast majority of the services responsible for longer lives, including for stopping the next pandemic. They are the backbone of a functional and effective health system."

This is huge and I wish more medical training emphasized this over considering & ruling out zebras. Time and a continuous relationship with the patient are incredibly undervalued diagnostic tools.
So excited! Welcome to the best specialty ever! #FMRevolution

This is such an important point. We need patient care team members to be an integral part of building the business model.
At #SXSW23 for "health/medtech track." Depressing that many/most of panels in healthcare tech involve MBAs, entrepreneurs & industry, rather than ppl who've actually seen patients. They're often promoting "optimization," "cost reduction," "ROI." Not "care."

I remember @BillWalczak describing health center work as being about breaking the cycle of generational poverty and that has stuck with me.

Here is an essay that's been kicking around in my mind for years—on shifting our mental models of health to better accommodate vicious and virtuous cycles. Grateful for the chance to share in @JAMAHealthForum and see if it resonates. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
I recall my preceptors words on my 1st day in continuity clinic as a new intern: "You can't do as much for them unless the patient keeps coming back to you. So focus on building a trustworthy relationship." I try to continue teaching that now.
Thanks for sharing @davechokshi

I would have defended this letter to comment that working with specialists is not the same as receiving primary care
But then recommending a one-time virtual visit or a retail clinic visit clearly gives away that this isn't about primary care. 🤦🏻♂️
what in the hell is this
"checkups are good even if you're already actively and regularly engaged with doctors you know and like"
