| President's Message |
An auspicious date recently came and went without the
fanfare that should probably have accompanied it. February 8, 2019 marks the 50th
year since Family Medicine was officially certified by the American Board of Medical
Specialties (ABMS) as an independent medical specialty. Born in February 1969 out of the embers of
what was thought to be the dying field of General Practice, and against the
wishes of several specialist medical societies, Family Practice (as it was called
until 2005) was founded by radicals. Our
founding fathers (and mothers) set out to not only create a new specialty, but
to change the practice and delivery of medicine in the US.
