"Immigrants make up about a quarter of all the country's doctors, and the U.S. health care system depends heavily on them. There are roughly 325,000 physicians — not including nurses or other critical health care workers — living and working in the U.S., who were born and trained elsewhere."

Pretty good article on Direct Primary Care in Maine in @themainemonitor.bsky.social this week.
I wish they didn't start with independent NPs who went from oncology to primary care with an "infusion clinic" side hustle but overall a nice overview of DPC in Maine.

Health P.E.I. not imposing a minimum number of patients on family doctors, says CEO
A gap is developing between what Health P.E.I. says and what the Medical Society of P.E.I. insists is the case when it comes to the patient roster benchmarks the province is asking family doctors to meet.

Same frustration as the author.
Hate "concierge" as we don't don't double bill patients and insurance, keep prices as affordable as possible for most and help patients save on labs, meds, imaging, etc.
Maybe 'affordable' or 'ethical' concierge would work better.

Hello Hachydermers (Hachydermites?)! My name is Jeff.
I'm a guy that likes my social media slightly nerdy and inclusive.
I'm a family physician, father to 3 humans and 2 dogs, husband, and lifelong procrastinator.
I live in the US, midwest.
I believe in human rights, universal healthcare, free software, privacy, diversity, equity, inclusion, and so many things...
I don't love this timeline. I'm going to do my best to make it a little better.
I mostly re-toot. Sometimes I have some original thoughts.

#Artificialintelligence in #familymedicine: Opportunities, impacts, and challenges | British Columbia Medical Journal https://bcmj.org/articles/artificial-intelligence-family-medicine-opportunities-impacts-and-challenges “Implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) across the continuum of patient care in family medicine should be given careful, thorough consideration to ensure high-quality care standards are maintained, the integrity of the doctor–patient relationship is preserved, and potential ethical implications are addressed”
One of the better recent articles on Direct Primary Care (DPC) was in @bostonglobe.com this week.
Several Massachusetts docs interviewed and it explains the differences between this and concierge medicine.
