Dr. Mike Chupp is joined by three members of the American College of Family Medicine (ACFM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Hippocratic Family Medicine. The discussion centers on the origins of ACFM, the challenges facing family medicine today, and the importance of providing a unified voice for life-affirming physicians navigating complex moral, ethical, and cultural issues. Topics include conscience protections, physician advocacy, medical education, and efforts to preserve evidence-based patient care, as well as why engagement within the profession, rather than withdrawal, is the most effective way to influence the future of family medicine and support physicians whose values have often gone unrepresented.
