Great @NAPCRG Annual Session Plenary talk from @FrancesSSellers! There’s definitely a lot of room between primary care and reporters so that our story, as primary care clinicians, can be told and shared. Thanks @utswfamilymed for the opportunity to attend!

We asked Congress to pass the #REDIAct to help the next generation of FPs w/student loan repayments & ensure they practice in areas of high need. This will save a significant amount of money in interest they would otherwise accrue & pay back. https://t.co/N0UuywnE4j #FMAS2024
In the coming weeks, @AlexMMTri will be installed as a chapter president, convene the National Conference of Constituency Leaders and speak at the Family Medicine Advocacy Summit. Read more about how Dr. McDonald's leadership roles are taking him places: https://t.co/N3DudVQqHj

@aafp Chair of Commission on Federal & State Policy @reneecrichlowMD and CAFP President & Claremont Unified School District Board Member @AlexMMTri kick off @AAFP_advocacy#FMAS2024 on a panel discuss the importance of FM physician presence in elected office and lessons learned!
Congress must address the physician workforce shortage. @aafp leaders are back on Capitol Hill today advocating for reauthorization of the THCGME program, which help train the next generation of PCPs and address the physician shortage. https://t.co/29whGUGW4Z
Social connection is an important determinant of community well-being and is associated with improved population health, community resilience, safety, and economic prosperity. Learn how we can use this moment to reinvest in our communities. #Connect2Heal https://t.co/3YaLTV7D2f
"This gives us another tool to help prevent disease and help us keep our patients out of the hospital. This has been a fantastic yearn for humankind in its fight against #RSV," @aafp Board Chair @SterlingRansone told @JosefChoi.

If you find yourself impatient this time of the year, think of the countless people who waited for you and let you learn while you both gave great care to patients.
📣 #AAFP: Action today from @SenFinance, @SenateFinance and @CMSinnovates signals federal policymakers are recognizing the importance of investing in primary care. Read our press release here: https://t.co/A6L8t90Jui
.@rshawnm: We don't have a level-playing field in health care. The lack of a competitive marketplace enables behavior that fails to put patients first. More family physicians report frustration with the loss of clinical autonomy and interference in physician-patient relationship.
Congratulations to our Residents of the Month, Drs. Priyanka Vij, Sandy Trevizo and Crystal Cassimere. Thanks for going the extra mile for your patients as well as for your fellow residents!
