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!

[Astrud Villareal, MD, FAAFP @rechargeability]

@CPark_MD @APAMSA I love everything about this!

[AAFP @aafp]

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

Team @aafp is ready for #FMAS2024!

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

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

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

Honored to join @aafp president-elect Steven Furr on air over the weekend to speak with @KITV4 on the importance of back-to-school vaccines for keiki. 🩺

"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.

[Astrud Villareal, MD, FAAFP @rechargeability]

So many amazing people in one place!!! Extra shout out to @PurpLEHealthNYC’a @anitaDRawing for making the travel to Texas!!!

[TAFP @TXFamilyDocs]

Thank you to the Dallas-area members who volunteered with us at the HOSA International Leadership Conference last week! @TexasHOSA #FMRevolution #TAFP

📣 #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

[AAFP Advocacy @AAFP_advocacy]

.@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.

[UTSW Family Medicine Residency @utswfamilymed]

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!
