SOMETIMES

Sometimes
if you move carefully
through the forest,

breathing
like the ones
in the old stories,

who could cross
a shimmering bed
of leaves
without a sound,

you come
to a place
whose only task

is to trouble you
with tiny
but frightening
requests,

conceived out of nowhere
but in this place
beginning to lead everywhere.

Requests to stop what
you are doing right now,
and

to stop what you
are becoming
while you do it,

questions
that can make
or unmake
a life,

questions
that have patiently
waited for you,

questions
that have no right
to go away.

This needs to change.

I am writing a report on what, if anything, these 10 schools without departments of Family Medicine are doing to teach Family Medicine. Please let me know if you are at one of these 10 (or for whatever reason know what is going on at them).

Harvard Medical School is 1 of 10 medical schools nationally that doesn't have a family medicine department. Some students are trying to change that.

Learning about the Physician Healer tract for medical students at University of Texas it occurs to me, this is something practicing physicians need.

I was amazed when the med students at Wash U thought being a family physician was too easy......

Yes, I am a family doctor. And I couldn’t be prouder of my choice.

Couldn't agree more. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/smart-money-primary-care-renaissance-dave-chase

At a time when half of primary care doctors say they’d leave medicine if they had an alternative and the NY Times reports on a family physician who can’t give away his practice this hardly seems like the obvious time to claim that primary care is positioned for a renaissance. However, if there’s one…

What a great story about a good family doc.

This elderly man was dying. Specialists hadn’t been able to help. What could a family physician do?
