摘要:Nearly a decade ago, I had the privilege of working with and in support of a Council of Academic Family Medicine (CAFM) task force that was charged to create “a framework with consistent language to guide our efforts to increase the production of well-trained primary care physicians for our populations.” This task force developed a model, the Four Pillars for Primary Care Physician Workforce Development, that highlighted the need to create programs and interventions to address the issues of pipeline, process of medical education, practice transformation, and payment reform as the main drivers of primary care physician workforce.
