Multiple studies now have demonstrated increased supply of primary care providers is associated with better patient outcomes and higher value care. Yet numbers of PCPs are dwindling...policy efforts to support increasing the PCP workforce are needed! @SocietyGIM @ACPinternists

[AAIM @AAIMOnline]

Life expectancy grows when there are more primary care physicians in the field, yet their numbers are shrinking as medical students saddled with debt turn to more lucrative fields, according to a study led by researchers at @Stanford and @Harvard . https://t.co/Z2ZvH8qOxO

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

The statistics of early-onset colorectal cancer are sobering but I always find narrative more humanizing than numbers so let's put a face to this scourge

Brinlee (here👇with her husband Parker and some middle-aged oncologist) was 21 when she first experienced hematochezia
