Proud supervisor moment 😍Last night, three of our medical school students knocked their research presentations out of the park at the Medical Student Research Symposium. The future of reproductive medicine is in good hands. Congrats, Hannah, Becky & Jillian! @MemorialHKR@MUNMed

Eastern Health says because of lower demand for vaccine if you want a shot at one of these clinics, call and make an appointment since they’re not offering clinics all the time #covid19nfld
@kara_okeefe The geographic areas underserved by primary care currently could certainly use some innovation. Family MDs have been weighed down by significant demands of our health care system both in the community and in the hospitals. Proper reform and teams- YES. More siloed care- solid no
@kara_okeefe I’m speaking of pharmacists directly or pharmacies who are their employer who might wield bias incentivized by financial gain. All of us are susceptible and ethical standards and safeguards will need to be applied equally. Why do you think such a standard exists for MDs?
@kara_okeefe Family physicians have the many layers of oversight that you describe. Additionally we are not permitted to have financial gain from the treatments we prescribe. I would suggest this be the same for all prescribers in the improved model of team based primary care. Less silos.
@kara_okeefe I am being more specific to the pharmacists who are pharmacy owners. It’s been more the practice that in our system we keep those arms more separate.
#NLPoli Poll for curiosity:
Fee For Service Family doctors in NL can bill MCP how much $Cdn per standard patient per visit?
*Regardless of time spent or number of issues discussed.
