Abstract

This JABFM issue has new research on a wide variety of clinical topics. Four articles study the social context of patients and its impact on health care. Insurance churn, prescription biosimilars, integrated behavioral health, and lung cancer screening are additional topics covered. Another group of articles report on a variety of aspects of modern family medicine practice. For example, what is the scope of care of today’s family medicine physicians and how does that change over the course of a career? How do family physicians cope with their own chronic medical issues? This issue also addresses the role of family physicians as leaders, including their role in mitigating a growing challenge of maternity care desert.
