Starting the Movement

Thank you Dr. Stange for this thoughtful and provocative commentary. As someone who grew up in the discipline reading Gayle Stephens' Family Medicine as Counterculture, and as someone who in my academic practice wrestles with trying to provide the best care, this commentary resonates strongly.

Along with Kevin Grumbach's commentary from the March issue of the Annals, which suggested the need for a movement, I'm wondering how we can kick this movement off? Is this something that our Family Medicine organizations can tackle, or do we need something more grass roots?

As has been said in the past, if we're not part of the solution, we're part of the problem. For myself, I want to be part of the solution. It's time.
