Guest Writers On Careers In Family Medicine

Over the next few weeks a few of my colleagues are going to be writing in about their varied personal careers as Family Doctors.  

The first two will be from a friend who works as a hospitalist at a large medical center with a good portion of ICU patients, and the other works in a refugee clinic doing integrative medicine including acupuncture, Functional Medicine, and osteopathic manipulation.
