The theory behind their practice methodology needs to change. They should not fight the move to redi clinics in pharmacies…they should embrace it as it offloads simple tasks that can be repeated all day long by extenders following simple treatment schemes or algorithms.
Primary care docs must embrace the Quaterback theory which has been bantered about for a while now.

Primary Care physicians should provide the clinical leadership, practice population oversight, care coordination, and overall direction for care teams The resulting reimbursement should then be based on the results of their care coordination abilities and the proof of their efforts. The payors and Mcare are beginning to consider how to reimburse these care coordinators and I think we should support this wholeheartedly. Fighting to prevent another medicare cut is just an annnual right of passage to continuing practice medicine in its current dysfunctional form.

Linking scholarships to generalist commitments is a flawed solution which will produce little stability as it would sentence those docs to low pay, overloaded jobs until they could flee to a specialist career.
