Multiple studies now have demonstrated increased supply of primary care providers is associated with better patient outcomes and higher value care. Yet numbers of PCPs are dwindling...policy efforts to support increasing the PCP workforce are needed! @SocietyGIM @ACPinternists
Life expectancy grows when there are more primary care physicians in the field, yet their numbers are shrinking as medical students saddled with debt turn to more lucrative fields, according to a study led by researchers at @Stanford and @Harvard . med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…

Such a pleasure to hear the amazing things you are doing @JennyZhangMD!!!! #PrimaryCareLove #GIMboree
Amazing GIMboree this week with the tremendous @JennyZhangMD! She is a champion for health care transformation and a GIMboree leadership alum :) What an honor to have her share her journey with us as a featured guest! @JH_UH_Residents @BayviewMedicine
The statistics of early-onset colorectal cancer are sobering but I always find narrative more humanizing than numbers so let's put a face to this scourge Brinlee (here👇with her husband Parker and some middle-aged oncologist) was 21 when she first experienced hematochezia 🧵
My sister @twzoe is an amazing PCP, who’s leading an effort to unionize physicians to have a collective voice to advocate for more support in primary care, one of the toughest specialties in medicine #SGIM #proudtobeGIM #primarycare
The unionizing effort is part of a flurry of labor organizing by attending physicians and doctors in training at several large health systems in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. trib.al/gACOVgT
