ABSTRACT

The continued presence of the family physician within hospital systems is key to family medicine remaining an attractive, viable specialty in the ever-evolving world of medicine. One physician muses about her place in this complex ecosystem and believes that family physicians lose their voice and thus risk their own extinction when they opt out of hospital practice.

Key Words: Family practice • continuity of patient care • hospitalists • medical errors • primary health care
