Want to represent PA family physicians? Changes in commission structure means AAFP members will have greater access to national leadership opportunities. The goal is to increase inclusiveness of the Academy’s commissions. Nomination period begins in July. https://t.co/iS9LZ9qd38

From Sunday׳s @PhillyInquirer:

Republicans manufactured a racist moral panic and, in 24 hours, the White House caved — co-signing on a racist lie.

“Republicans melted down over the potential inclusion of smoking pipes for one obvious reason: racism.”

A May 2021 study from the @theNASEM concluded that primary care is the only discipline of medicine where a greater supply is equated to improved population health, longer lives, and greater equity. 

Not one of many, the only discipline of medicine.

Exciting report sparked by work from @PAFPandF Now it’s time to get to work and put recommendations into legislation, policy, and action.

[Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians @PAFPandF]

Report calls for greater investment in and expansion of the state’s primary care pipeline, which aligns with PAFP’s work to advance the specialty of family medicine in PA, citing "obvious shortage of primary care physicians" in Pennsylvania. #familymed https://t.co/BERZ7pBWb6
