Francis N Chu MD FAAFP

Been awhile, but I’m back at #CAFPAMAM #AMAM2024 with my wonderful colleagues @cafp_familydocs learning about advocacy! Just heard a great talk by @MargotSavoy from @aafp on Health Related Social Needs screening - TY!

We’re all ready to present at #AN23 #STFM #STFM23 @KPSDFMR @STFM_FM @fpteach @KPDocAdriano

Start #stfm #an23 #stfm23 with a bang - attend our award winning seminar on Sunday morning and experience a fish-bowl #Balint session!! @STFM_FM @KPSDFMR @KPDocAdriano @fpteach

Congrats to our newest Family Medicine residents @kpsanjose! They’ll spend the next several years learning more about their specialty @kpsjfmr and how to deliver excellent care from our physicians and care teams.

@JackChouMD @DrWaltMills @tedoconnell @JacobPR_L @DrNatPadgett here’s the link for your convenience. cafp.my.salesforce-sites.com/pac/ Seems most of my CA #FMRevolution-ary friends are already here @cafp_familydocs #CAFPAMAM

Even if you’re sitting at home or work & not w/ us at #CAFPAMAM, you can contribute to FPPAC & make our voices heard + #MakeAlexRun will hold @AlexMMTri & board members to their promise to donate! #FMRevolution

It took the arm twisting from CAFP Speaker @AlexMMTri to get me back to tweeting again! Kicking off #CAFPAMAM along with good friends @vathyal & Dennis Andrade @KPSDFMR Look fwd to a great time!

Sorry to disappoint my former @kpfmrriverside friends! Someone’s gotta hold down the fort @KPSJFMR while you all have fun in KC #AAFPNC @KPResidencySCal @KPNC_Residency @KPSDFMR Happy recruiting!

Late post but never too late to share the congratulations and kudos due our Class of 2022 @KPSJFMR on their graduation! #fullfledged #readytogo #FMRevolution

Energized hearing @kgrumbach reference #FMRevolution & quoting FM founding father Gayle Stephens to remind us that FM was always #CounterCulture! Thx to the panel for the call to mobilize anew this social movement! @UCSFFamilyMed #JackRodnickColloquium #FMRising #FMStrong

Proud of our residents & faculty @kpsjfmr attending & presenting @UCSFFamilyMed #RodnickColloquium today! Keynote speaker: Dr Etz is co-Director of 
green-center.org
a primary care “think tank” - betcha didn’t know such a thing existed!

After a long week, couldn’t pass up the opportunity to wish you all a Happy #StarWarsDay #MayThe4thBeWithYou + Dancin’ #DarthVader what more could you ask for?

Was great to everyone this week, masks & all. #Friendships revisited & new friends made - was worth coming to #Indianapolis for #AN22 Thank you @STFM_FM for providing the space! See you in Tampa for #AN23! #BFEF #FMRising

Health Policy Research Fellow @EmmelineHa Doing a masterful job sharing prelim FM Factbook data to a packed (but masked) room. Look 4 it this summer! Thx @TheCPVHC & @TheABFM & @GWSMHS + shout out 2 @bazemorea @FMresearchplcy & Dr Lars Peterson 4 the amazing work! #AN22 @STFM_FM

Amazing keynote from @vivimbmd ¡Usted es mi inspiración! Viva la #FMRevolution @STFM_FM #AN22

,@STFM_FM Prez @citywolf26 gives opening remarks - advocates for a @HHSGov Council on Primary Care. We need a voice at the highest level for primary care teams & increase the #primarycare spend to 12%! #AN22

After Dr Netra Thakur declared “We are Family!” The Franklin Central HS Flashes regaled the crowd with their rendition - glad to be back in person (even though masked)! @STFM_FM #AN22

Just got done with an amazing pre-con workshop led by @mbstephensmd et al on #Professional #Identity #Formation (or construction) with wonderful fellow teachers @STFM_FM #AN22 Can’t wait to see you at the official start tomorrow! #MedEd #FMRevolution

Thinking more deeply about #DEI & #FacultyDevelopment of in terms of resident recruitment (pipeline/pathways), mentoring, & evaluation; reviewing ACGME DEI milestones. TY to @SaraTepperberg @PaulRavenna & Shona Belegundu & the Health Equity Taskforce @TheAFMRD #AAFPRLS #rls2022

Agree with @MargotSavoy that science/medicine is constantly evolving, especially in #pandemic. #Dialogue is important (Twitter may not be the best place but it’s still a forum) and we need to engage provide the space for it! & expending our energy wisely #rls2022 #AAFPRLS

On (Re)building Public Trust @MargotSavoy Great historical perspective & appreciate the “VUCA” model (Issue =>Response) Volatility=>Vision Uncertainty=>Understanding Complexity=>Clarity Ambiguity=>Agility We need to show up & engage our patients & communities #rls2022 #AAFPRLS

Another mnemonic from @MargotSavoy to help build trust: LEAN IN Listen (to understand) Educate (myself & others) Actively Address (not just knowledge) Notice (situational awareness) Invite Input (open to FB) Nudge (reminder - to make it easier) TY! #rls2022 #AAFPRLS
