#Physician density has nearly doubled since 1970 — yet only 15–20% of #physicians belong to the @AmerMedicalAssn, and rural county #medicalsocieties are consolidating to survive.
In “We’ve Subspecialized Ourselves Into Isolation,” I explore how expanding subspecialization, employed practice models (now >77%), and proliferating specialty societies have fragmented our professional identity — often at the expense of local engagement.
From my experience in Eureka, CA, county medical societies still matter. They advocate locally, defend public health, assist with regulatory/payer challenges, and help build future workforce pipelines.
As we narrow our clinical focus, are we also narrowing our professional community?

Humbled to receive the RLI Recognition Award today at our Summit meeting. It was an honor and privilege to serve as the CMO for over ten years. The RLI has a bright future with Dr. Richard Duszak taking the helm.

Studies have linked radiologist burnout to substance abuse, poor self-care and even physician suicide, noted Jay R. Parikh, MD, FRCPC, who moderated a session on mitigating burnout at RSNA 2024. @fjlexa https://t.co/r7jUc7iFST
