But I already feeling the pangs of missing out on reconnecting with my family medicine family! To everyone there - have so much fun and let’s get the residency Class of 2026 pumped to join the #FMRevolution!

[Rachel Friedman, MD @serendipidoc]

Fun fact - both I and our PD Dr. Hiserote share a bday! And it almost *always* falls during #AAFPNC. This year, we sent amazing faculty and residents to share the #FMRevolution love with everyone so we could spend time with our families…

[KP Santa Rosa FMR @kpsantarosafmr]

Who’s super excited to be back at #AAFPNC and has 18 residents? This program!

@stayatfoammom You know you’ve made a good show rec when it leads to a horde of angry friends blaming you for all the lost sleep and procrastinated work they’ve incurred. All that is to say, I didn’t get to sleep until after 1am last night and it’s all your fault! (Sooooo good!)

1) How do we go about our lives, do our shopping, and care for our families, when it seems like so much is spinning apart? How do we find any hope and any simple joy in the middle of such strife and fear?

We mourn with those whose loved ones were injured, killed and traumatized by yesterday’s mass shooting in Highland Park, Ill. during a Fourth of July parade. Gun violence continues to turn otherwise routine childhood experiences into sites of terror and trauma. @illinoisaap 1/4

In this pre-COVID study, we found reduction in chronic disease hospitalizations post-disaster for those familiar with telemed prior. In a world where disasters & disruption are increasingly common, telemed improves access to primary care and chronic dz mgmt. #FMRevolution

FYI:

Symptoms are NOT required to be infectious

Symptom-free spread is MAJOR contributor to spread in this pandemic

High virus load (rapid Test Pos) is good indicator of infectivity

If you or your child no Longer has symptoms but Still Pos on rapid test -> Assume Infectious
