National Primary Care Round Table with AMSA (October)
This panel discussion serves as AMSA's introduction to National Primary Care Week, an event dedicated to providing information, guidance, and practical examples and workshops focused on primary care, but also pertinent to issues faced by all physicians.
National Primary Care Week thus addresses issues relevant to all medical students, regardless of their plans to specialize or enter primary Care. Specifically, this panel will include clinicians trained in family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, and geriatrics.
- Each member will discuss his/her roles and their relationships with each other. Issues to discuss include:
- What is primary care?
- What scope of practice may define a primary care physician?
- What is the role of a PCP in the health care system?
- How does this role relate to specialist care and other players in health care delivery?
