A lot of current and prospective medical students are excited about the breadth and flexibility of family medicine. Yet, they also have concerns about the future stability of the role of the family doctor. In this quick video, the role of the family doctor is explored in the context of an uncertain health care system future. Bottom line: it's strong, and as strong as any other specialty, partly because health economy studies have demonstrated the value family doctors bring to health care systems.

Hi! The work by the late Dr. Barbara Starfield (John's Hopkins) is amongst the best work done in the field. Thanks for your question!

The problem though is midlevels, physician assistants and np's taking more responsibility away from fp's because they cost less to the hospital, so I dont know if job security is good for fm.

Good points. The sheer amount of clinical training and broad scope of practice of family docs is unmatched by these other professionals. I have worked in a collaborative practice with a nurse practitioner and it meant that between us we were able to provide a higher standard of care. If decision makes follow the evidence, it's clear that family docs working to their full scope of practice over lead to higher quality of care at a lower cost.
