My latest @JACRJournal Author Project podcast tackles an important issue at the intersection of #MedEd, #physicianworkforce sustainability, and the future of #healthcare.
As we discuss #physician shortages, #accesstocare, and the long-term viability of #medical practice, we cannot talk seriously about the future of #medicine without talking about the cost of entering the profession.

What if one of the most valuable tools in cancer care is also one of the most misunderstood?
Modern #radiationtherapy is safer, more precise, and more versatile than ever—but misconceptions and access barriers still keep too many #patients from benefiting.
Honored to join @sandraturner49 in @ACRBulletin exploring why we need to do a better job communicating the value of radiation therapy.
What do you think is the biggest #misconception about radiation therapy today?

@j_luh delivered a powerful testimony at the Assembly Health Committee in support of AB 2457.
From rural California, he highlighted how credentialing delays can force patients to wait longer or travel hours for care. AB 2457 is a practical solution to reduce barriers and improve timely access for Medi-Cal patients.

#Physician density has nearly doubled since 1970 — yet only 15–20% of #physicians belong to the @AmerMedicalAssn, and rural county #medicalsocieties are consolidating to survive.
In “We’ve Subspecialized Ourselves Into Isolation,” I explore how expanding subspecialization, employed practice models (now >77%), and proliferating specialty societies have fragmented our professional identity — often at the expense of local engagement.
From my experience in Eureka, CA, county medical societies still matter. They advocate locally, defend public health, assist with regulatory/payer challenges, and help build future workforce pipelines.
As we narrow our clinical focus, are we also narrowing our professional community?
