    RE: Family Medicine Leaders from Practice

    Thank you for the ever-timely call to leadership.
    Family Medicine has a long history of leveraging the lived experience of family doctors into effective influence, leadership, and disruptive innovation in academic institutions and healthcare systems.[1] Many of the early pioneers of Family Medicine in the US and Canada moved from small-town practices to become department chairs, residency program directors, medical school deans, and executives in large healthcare systems.
    • How can we make these positions more attractive to our colleagues in community practices and health centers?
    • How can we prepare and support them to be successful in today’s challenging and changing environments?
    • How can we partner with them to develop and drive the missions of patient care, scholarship, teaching, and learning?
