More on the challenges and promise of primary care

Today’s NY Times features an article on a summer immersion program linking University of Washington medical students back into rural and underserved communities. The video is the best part. Students experience the frustrations of caring for people without adequate coverage, without the resources they need to be well, all in a few minutes for each visit. I love the moment eager, energetic, and idealistic students touch the real world – the best part of my job here at the Project.
