Well, I’ve been critical of the gov’s plans for healthcare lately. Perhaps you’ve noticed. A refreshing change might be to instead put down some concrete things that any gov could do now. Very long thread warning! /1

Dr. Brenda Hemmelgarn, dean @UAlberta_FoMD, and I know serious work needs to be done to reform primary care in Alberta. We are laying groundwork for a more robust primary care training model to attract the best physicians & care providers. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… @UCalgaryFamMed
