Proud of our PD!

After controlling for hrs worked, degree type, principal professional activity, population density & region, a significant wage gap persists between male & female early-career family physicians. On average, females earn $31,804 less than their male peers. bit.ly/3yjZIxU

Phone medical visit coverage is ending 12/24.
Study: '...those who received audio-only care were more likely to be African American or Black, have medically complex conditions, and be dually eligible.' These patients will be disproportionately impacted by this loss of coverage.🧵

FPs play a critical role in addressing mental health needs for their patients. The AAFP advocates for legislation to integrate behavioral health care in the #primarycare setting & improve access to mental health care. bit.ly/3y6QxPd #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
