I am a family medicine (FM) program director and see a bright future for our field. I share the sentiments provided in a November 2022 commentary1: FM residency graduates today are well positioned to lead. They share the frustrations of a bloated system that is not always patient centric. They strive for health equity and actively engage in anti-racism work. And just like past leaders, they struggle with how to effect change in a complex system. In our program we encourage and allow time for residents to engage in committees, organized medicine, legislative action, etc. I am proud of the work they do and the values they carry with them. The revolutionary attitude that created our specialty is alive and well in FM residents today.
