Book Signing by authors in attendance: Behavioral Medicine in Primary Care by Julie Shirmer et al. The section on physician burnout is compelling. We need to take better care of ourselves.
So many great aspects to FMEC NE Meeting 2010. Overall a highly motivating experience and a breath of fresh air about the future of family medicine and health care. It seems like we've started "The Hershey Conversation" about hope for health care and for people, like our patients and our selves.
My opinion of FMEC: Important Organization. Stay tuned.
Go to twitter.com and search for #fmecnet for tweets from the meeting. Notice the tweets from med students, especially those from the PAFP.
Next week at 8-9 PM Tuesday night on BlogTalk Radio, I'll interview Ken Bertka, MD past president of the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) and recently a Board member of AAFP about family medicine, healthcare reform,etc.
