Mashup Score: 0
Introduction: Currently there is a primary care physician shortage in the United States, and this shortage is expected to worsen into the foreseeable future. In 2023, only 7.5 % of US allopathic graduates entered family medicine (FM) residencies. Opportunities to create increased interest in family medicine as a career choice and address hidden curriculum messages in career choice must be explored to address shortages in family medicine. Methods: A 5-day inpatient experience with family medicine residents

Mashup Score: 1Upstream Advocacy: Family Medicine Promotion of Voting - 2 month(s) ago
When I was growing up, my parents role-modeled voting every election in November.

As I advanced in my medical training and observed patients deciding how to spend their money among rent, food, and medication, I realized that social determinants influenced health outcomes, and civic engagement could impact

Mashup Score: 3
In May 2023, I visited South Central Virginia as part of a conference series. When our group toured a community hospital, I learned that two of the three hospitals along the nearby Virginia-North Carolina border no longer provided perinatal care. 1, 2 The two labor and delivery (L & D) units closed within 18 months of one another, leaving three counties, 144,000 people, and more than 2,100 square miles with only one delivery location. A pregnant person in Southern Virginia may drive more than an hour, in

Currently in the United States, transgender * individuals account for 1.6 million people 13 years of age and older. 1 Unfortunately, they face a litany of health disparities when compared to their cisgender counterparts, including higher rates of death and disability from a variety of causes. 2, 3 The most notable discrepancies involve mental health conditions, with one study finding that transgender adults were more than six times as likely to have had suicidal ideation and more than four times as
