??“Medical expertise and an equity lens do not sit in opposition — they easily co-exist, and in fact strengthen each other.” ??????Education on neurodivergence is required within this panoramic lens. ????Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette’s, dyscalculia, etc are intersectional with other inequities. ??In a healthcare context, there is minimal focus (if any) on the additional distress of patients who are neurodivergent. Recognition, empathy, modified communication skills and environmental modifications are required. ??This will improve healthcare outcomes for neurodivergent patients.

“Physicians will always prioritize applying sound scientific evidence, wisdom and skills to the complex realities of human bodies and lives. We have done that well for centuries. Our challenge now is to do that well for everybody, and to accept that those realities include differences in health caused by discriminatory structures of our society…. The proposal to “de-centre” medical expertise suggests we enhance our knowledge with a new understanding and skill set, one specifically targeted at reducing disparities in health outcomes. Medical expertise alone is great for those with social privilege, but not enough for the rest…. The evidence supports this transformation and the pillars of the profession, like the CanMEDS competencies, are appropriately reorienting. No change is easy. In this case it is necessary, inevitable and will position us to achieve healthier outcomes for everyone we serve.”

This editorial in AJPM Focus discusses the evolving identity of the Public Health Preventive Medicine (PHPM) specialty, highlighting its integration of public health and medicine: - Preventive medicine physicians frequently need to advocate for their specialty’s value, often aligning with contemporary movements like health systems management or lifestyle medicine. - Efforts to rename or rebrand the specialty have been proposed to enhance recognition and clarity. - A formal effort by AJPM Focus, involving a 4-year Delphi study with 90 experts, aimed to define the specialty’s focus areas. The study identified five key foci that form the basis of preventive medicine practice, guiding its teaching, research, practice, and policy. These Five Foci of Preventive Medicine are : 1. Community Medicine: Focuses on community-level interventions, including disease control programs and public education on health. 2. Population Medicine: Involves population-level interventions, integrating clinical care with public health strategies to address social determinants of health. 3. Clinical Preventive Medicine: Centers on prevention-focused interventions for individuals or groups, including lifestyle and integrative medicine. 4. Health Promotion and Protection: Involves true prevention strategies through social, environmental interventions, and policy advocacy. 5. Core Public Health Functions: Incorporates assessment, policy development, and assurance as foundational elements of PM practice. - To simplify and better define the specialty, the name “Public Health Preventive Medicine (PHPM)” is proposed. This aligns with public health foundations and distinguishes it from other specialties. - The preventive medicine specialty must continue efforts to define and communicate its unique identity and value within healthcare. https://lnkd.in/dFxeGAni

What advice did Leon C. Adelman, MD, MBA, FACEP, FAAEM have for current medical students at UNC School of Medicine? “When things are broken, it is our job to figure out how to fix them. It is up to physicians to create systems that work better.” Adelman, MD '08 has done exactly that with the creation of Ivy Clinicians, a platform that simplifies the emergency medicine job search through transparency.

Studies show that top factors contributing to job satisfaction and retention in family medicine include work-life balance, professional autonomy with adequate resources, and meaningful patient relationships. Encouraging policy-makers to prioritize these conditions and create supportive systems can help ensure family physicians feel valued and supported in their vital roles. By focusing on these key areas, we may foster a more sustainable and rewarding environment, encouraging more medical students to pursue family medicine residency. Your thoughts? https://lnkd.in/gxKjY_nJ

Such great work to get med students to see what General Practice does, rather than leaving it to their impressions of the media. History has shown that when Med students spend time in general practice, they are more interested in specializing in general practice and understand the joy that comes from looking after people's whole health. #generalpractice, #preventativecare
This is an excellent article written by Sasenie Jayanetty, a final-year medicine student at the University of Tasmania. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) SA Faculty is working closely with both SA medical schools and other stakeholders to try to 'raise the prestige of general practice' and encourage more medical students to choose a career as a specialist GP. This year, as a fantastic new initiative, all third-year medical students at the University of Adelaide are spending a day per week in a general practice, seeing firsthand the enormous scope and skill of GPs, and the role they play as the cornerstone of our health system. As Sasenie says, 'Medicine is fundamentally a team sport; cooperation and harmony at a multi-disciplinary level is a must. These inter-speciality relationships must be nurturing and symbiotic, not breeding grounds for resentment and competition.'

Colorado faces a critical physician shortage, with many healthcare providers nearing retirement and underserved communities feeling the impact. To address this, the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) is building its new College of Osteopathic Medicine in Greeley, set to open in 2026. The $200 million project, part of a larger $247 million state initiative, aims to graduate 150 new doctors annually, helping alleviate the growing demand for primary care. This medical school will be Colorado's third and is a key step toward addressing the healthcare workforce crisis, particularly in rural and low-income areas. #neurology #medicalprovidershortage With the Specialist combines artificial intelligence with a board certified neurologist to enhance neurological care, bringing the neurology consult to you. This will help fight the shortage, bringing neurological expertise to primary care providers. #withthespecialist #aiinhealthcare #innovation https://lnkd.in/gN8Mj_iw https://lnkd.in/gExrwg2P
