Family physicians are an important part of the obstetrics workforce in the United States. Creating and preserving FMOB training programs is sound workforce policy that increases access to quality maternity care.
The election results are in! @SCNosalMD is the new #AAFP president-elect. 🎉 She has practiced medicine for nearly 2 decades in South Bronx, NY and is chief medical information officer at @forFamilyHealth. https://t.co/0jgHSPdVSc
Impressive case for #screenandintervene model for targeted #SDOH interventions in clinic. Eg sending Housing Advocacy letter to landlord (ex: mold ➡️ asthma exacerbation) resulted in 74% resolution of the housing issue. We should be empowered to "work up" social needs #SGIM24
As a medical student, when Tema Foje (@temafudge) found out @virtualFMmatch was inactive, she helped bring the resource back to life to help herself and her peers. 👇 https://t.co/CrY8qWfwWW
The sorting x specialties somehow minimizes the fact that 1 IN 3 DOCS ARE DEPRESSED, across specialties and workplaces.
Need us to speak out collectively, collaboratively, and firmly.
The needs assessment has been done. It's time for action.
It's world Lichen Sclerosis awareness day. I was recently talking to an extended family member. 5 of her good friends have LS. It took years for them to get diagnosed because many women stop going to the GYN after childbearing years & their internist doesn't do a vulvar exam.
Wading into this water bottle debate as a cancer doctor. There has been a striking increase in #coloncancer in people under age 50. When you see an abrupt change like this by generation, it always raises concern for an environmental cause. #MedTwitter https://t.co/whDtW0qwwZ
Another shocking and sickening example of a hospital system focused only on the bottom line while ignoring the need for and commitment to foundational primary care!
stopped using twitter but back to ask for support. Mt Sinai must reverse their abrupt & cruel decision to end the family medicine residency program. This would be devastating to our patients. plz sign & amplify

This is both a failure of policy and a failure of leadership.
Here is a fact - MGB does not have a family medicine residency program. Their commitment to their institution > their commitment to the Boston community.

The @AAFP is the largest organization devoted to the professional development and advancement of family medicine. If you are a family physician MD/DO and you are not a member of the @AAFP, I invite you to join the @AAFP today – let me tell you why.

As an FM program applicant reviewer for the past 3 years, I am overwhelmed by the increasing number of fierce change-makers that will soon be my colleagues.
We are at a true precipice of #FMRevolution - when we recruit resilient healers, expect revolutionary change.
Congratulations to our new student, resident and new physician members of the #AAFP Board of Directors! Dr. Matthew Adkins, Dr. Janet Nwaukoni (@JanetNwaukoni) and Taree Chadwick will each represent their peers for a 1-year term: https://t.co/KzN5TfvOLL
