Family physician Pamela Buchanan discusses her article, "The ER doctor who became the new PCP." In this compelling conversation, Pamela explains her transition from emergency medicine back to primary care, driven by a growing shortage of primary care providers that leaves many patients with no choice but to seek care in the ER. She highlights the strain on both patients and health care workers and emphasizes the importance of prevention and making primary care a more attractive career path for new physicians.
