  2. Discussion topics • Primary Care • Rural vs.. Urban practice • Minnesota Lifeline October 2005- Katrina/Rita

  3. PRIMARY CARE • Definition (mine): • Providers who assume the responsibility (with the patient and family members) to care for the patient and their family members; through a variety of medical conditions- over the course of their patient’s life. • Limited by training and scope of practice • Implies a relationship between the patient and the provider

  4. PRIMARY CARE • Who are Primary Care Providers- • Pediatrics • Internal Medicine- general/ geriatric • Family Medicine • Pediatric/Internal Medicine combination • Nurse Practitioners • Pediatric (PNP), Family (FNP) or General (NP) • Obstetrics/GYN (?)

  5. Pediatrics • Generally care for children from birth to 15-18 • Will care for siblings; longitudinal care • Training is a 3 year residency program following medical school • Consists of outpatient clinical expertise, along with hospitalized care of sicker children

  6. Pediatrics • Some pediatricians will specialize and do further residency training in: ID; Cards; GI; Neph, etc.- Currently 66% nationally go into Primary Care

  7. Internal Medicine • Generally care for Adults- some will see patients > 15 or 16 of age • Will care for members of the same family • Longitudinal care, stressing preventative services, hospitalized care.

  8. Internal Medicine • Three year residency training program after medical school • 1-2 year fellowships available for geriatrics, research, etc • Many residents will specialize in: • Cards/ GI/ Endo etc. • 48 % stay in Primary Care

  9. Pediatric/Internal Medicine Combined training • Training is 4 years of residency after medical school • Board certified in both Peds and IM • Care of all except obstetrical care • Emphasis on hospitalized care, sicker adults and children • Popular on coasts, where OB care is routinely done by OB/GYN

  10. Family Medicine • Three years of residency training after medical school • Training in broad range of medicine: • Peds; OB/GYN; Surg; ER; Ortho; Geriatric; IM; Neuro; etc. • Practice type depends on training- flexible and variable. • Approx. 50% are choosing not to provide OB care

  11. Family Medicine • Specializing in outpatient management of a wide variety of medical illnesses • Coordinator of care with multiple specialists

  12. Rural vs.. UrbanPrimary Care • Rural • Expectation for wider range of practice- OB/Peds to geriatric/NH • Care for “practice” rather than “patients” • ER/ Hospital/ On-call a given • Close relationship with patients • Involvement in practice management

  13. Rural vs.. UrbanPrimary Care • Urban • More control over practice style • ER Coverage is assumed • After-hours care- usually arranged • More “shift” work • Less day to day management involvement • But… Patients are still Patients

  14. Rural vs.. UrbanPrimary Care • Similarities • Can still maintain part-time practices (? Definition of part-time) • Provide educational experience to medical students; NP students etc • Both types of practices can be isolating/ overwhelming

  15. Concern with Rural Practice • You know every one • BMP • Reality • How to survive

  16. Rural vs.. UrbanPrimary Care • Best of times • Worst of times

  17. Compensation • ALL PRIMARY CARE SPECIALTIES are in demand! • Recent data shows 25-50 offers to each resident • Starting salaries range: $120,000 to $220,000 • Signing bonuses range up to $30,000

  21. FOUR WAVES • Wave One: Evaluation, start PHU’s, mass immunizations, “inpatient”, and RITA • Wave Two: Evaluation, staff PHU’s, mass immunizations, and wind down inpatient • Wave Three: Staff PHU’s, medical outreach, and immunizations • Wave Four: Staff PHU’s and coordinate departure

  22. Public Health Units • Designed as a “core public health” facility • Not a primary medical clinic. Minimal physician involvement

  23. Public Health Units • Have exam rooms for WIC, STD clinics • Minimal if any laboratory and x-ray equipment

  34. New Orleans • A two hour trip from Lafayette • Clinic was from 9am – 5pm • At the site of the FEMA line in New Orleans • In four days- saw 434 patients and gave 683 people immunization with 59 mental health consultations.

  35. Lessons learned in Louisiana • Disaster medicine vs.. triage medicine vs. primary care medicine • Physicians without logistic support and equipment are almost worthless • “Mayo Clinic gator survival course” • A good “hard freeze” keeps the bugs small • Blizzards melt- Hurricanes destroy

  36. How to say “boudin” and then how to eat it
