Running forward with the Scars We Wear: An Intimate Journey of Breaking Primary Care Boundaries
Description

Journey with a panel of primary care leaders through a storytelling discussion about breaking boundaries of primary care leadership and expansion in a variety of primary care settings. Panelists will discuss their efforts to expand health care reach in academic medical centers, federally qualified health clinics, community clinics, family medicine residency clinics, and rural mobile clinics via in person and telehealth clinical services. Panelists will intimately share their lived challenges, specifically in the current, sociopolitical environment, to give voice and space to the scars that develop through breaking boundaries for innovation and expansion. Participants will have the opportunity to begin understanding the universality of professional suffering and its presence within primary care teams. This presentation serves to remind participants that they do not have to wear their scars alone.
