Primary Care Innovation Elective in San Francisco! ?? Just wrapped up an energizing strategy session with X = Primary Care at a stunning treehouse retreat in Mill Valley, CA. Honored to be part of this powerhouse team—huge thanks to Paulius Mui, MD for the invite! The Mission: Strengthening and empowering the primary care workforce. The Challenges: ?? Fragmented Care & Training – Clinicians rarely follow chronic illnesses from start to finish. ?? Lack of Reps & Exposure – Limited real-life experience managing complex cases. ?? Gaps in Triage & Feedback – Poor feedback loops mean missed learning opportunities. ?? Shifting Workforce Dynamics – Fewer physicians in primary care, increasing reliance on non-physicians with varying training quality. This is just the beginning—excited for what’s next! If you're working on similar challenges, let’s connect ?? #StrengthingPrimaryCare #Innovation Xavier B. | Matthew Sakumoto | Michael Hobbs MD | David M. Nichols, MD
