This is an extremely relevant video that is a must watch for us PRIME kids, especially because we're all "going to be in Primary Care, right?" (David Ding)
Anyway, the video is a roundtable discussion of a bunch of doctors and one M.D.,M.P.H. Their collective intellect is nice to be around.
They first spend some time citing the problems and their roots,
Then they go into new ways of viewing Primary Care and delivering it,
After which they discuss the importance of using different sectors of medicine in building a "Primary Care Team",
And finally, the group tries to tackle the age-old dragon: Payment Reform.
Enjoy with a ice-cold beverage and bare feet. It's a fun one.

Hubert - I really enjoyed seeing existing physicians trying to solve the problems of primary care as a team - the physicians and public health system - working together to think about what needs to change NOW before it gets too late.

I did not know that NEJM has videos posted on their website! Thanks for sharing. I agree with Jaime. It was nice to listen to what our current primary care leaders have to say. Money, prestige, and controllable lifestyle all contribute to a decline in primary care doctors. The proposed "team" delivery model(doctor partnering one-on-one with a nurse) seems promising. I agree that a true change will only happen if it starts with the medical education.
