From the "Making It" Blog
"My message is this: You can make as much money in
family practice as you can as a specialist. And that’s a
heckuva lot more than you need." - Doug Iliff, MD
Marcus Welby and the Medical Home
"We in family medicine have to help the public see that the
Marcus Welby they are looking for is us ... [and] what they
value is what we offer." - Jason Marker, MD, MPA
"Puzzle" Your Patients
"Even though we have a television, fish tank and play area
in our waiting room, some patients still sit and stare at
the receptionist ... To fix this, we added another form
of entertainment: a jigsaw puzzle."
From the "Noteworthy" Blog
"It's hard to avoid the sense that the light is dawning across the country – that people are coming to realize that universal coverage won't solve anything without universal primary care, and that to get more primary care physicians, we may need to work them less, pay them more, and let them do their jobs."
