AAFP President Robert Wergin, M.D., of Milford, Neb., is the real deal when it comes to practicing family medicine. In a single day's work, he might deliver a baby, visit an elderly patient in a nursing home, treat a high-school student's sports injury and keep a middle-aged mom's blood sugar in check. In short, Wergin's typical work day epitomizes the full scope of family medicine.
AAFP News recently visited with Wergin in his practice to learn what makes him tick and to talk about family medicine's most pressing issues.
Q. Much of your time as president of the AAFP will be spent in Washington representing family medicine. What issues will take top priority as you work with legislators and policymakers?
A. Eliminating the sustainable growth rate formula, clarifying the role of family medicine, pushing for payment reform and prioritizing medical education all are issues of great interest to me.
Q. As a Nebraska native (and self-professed Cornhuskers fan), how will your small-town roots help you connect with your family physician colleagues -- especially the thousands of AAFP members who struggle with challenges unique to small and rural practices?
A. I am their voice and I understand those challenges. I will encourage the Academy to provide the clinical, practice management and business resources all family physicians need to help their clinics -- big or small -- thrive. Even now, as I travel around the country for the AAFP, I encounter family physicians who suggest that Academy leaders may not understand the day-to-day problems faced by practicing physicians, and my response is, "Au contraire, my friend, I understand because I am you."
Q. During your presidential year, the time available for hands-on patient care likely will be less than what you and your patients would like. Why did you want to take on this leadership role?
A. It was a difficult decision and not easily made. As one family physician, I can impact the health of my patients on an individual basis, but by stepping into a leadership role, I can help the specialty of family medicine reach its full potential.
Q. You've said previously that medical school debt is of particular interest to you. What changes need to be considered to ensure that young students can afford to go to medical school and choose primary care careers?
A. Those of us invested in filling the primary care pipeline need to join together to have meaningful discussions about the negative impact student debt can have on students' choice of specialty. For instance, the prospect of paying off significant loans pushes medical students into subspecialty careers, so perhaps making low-interest student loans available could be part of the solution. Another sure way to get students thinking about primary care is to shrink the gap between specialty and subspecialty pay.

Newswise Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Dean Pamela B. Davis, MD, PhD, and Department of Physiology and Biophysics Chair Walter Boron, MD, PhD, have won election to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (IOM), one of the nations most prestigious societies for health and medicine.
We congratulate and applaud these two faculty leaders on achieving one of the highest honors available in the medical sciences within this country, Case Western Reserve University President Barbara R. Snyder said. Both have made extraordinary discoveries within their respective fields, and we are delighted that their accomplishments have been recognized by such distinguished colleagues.
The Institute of Medicine on Monday named the pair among 70 new members and 10 foreign associates announced as part of the 2014 class. The individuals are chosen by active IOM members, using criteria that include significant contributions to medical sciences, health care and/or public health. As the IOM explains, membership recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding professional achievement and commitment to service.
Davis joined the Case Western Reserve medical school faculty in 1981 after earning her undergraduate degree at Smith College and medical and doctoral degrees at Duke University. A renowned researcher of cystic fibrosis, Davis has published more than 130 articles in peer-reviewed journals, holds seven patents, and has received continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for more than three decades. Dean of the School of Medicine since 2007, Davis also has been the principal investigator on the two largest NIH grants ever awarded in Northeast Ohio: a $64 million Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) in 2007 and a $64.6 million CTSA renewal in 2012.
Boron, meanwhile, came to Case Western Reserve University in 2007 after spending nearly three decades at the Yale University School of Medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree at St. Louis University and his medical and doctoral degrees at Washington University in St. Louis. Boron traces his interest in physiology to the day a high school teacher gave him a Scientific American article about the synapse by Nobel Prize-winner John Eccles. Borons own research has focused on acid-base homeostasis, in particular the regulation of intracellular pH. His projects also explore the molecular mechanism of gas channels. Boron is a past president of the American Physiological Society, the founding editor-in-chief of the journal Physiology and the co-editor of the medical student textbook Medical Physiology: A Cellular and Molecular Approach.
The two join four other Case Western Reserve faculty previously elected to the IOM: in 2011, John Chae, MD, chair of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation; in 2003, James M. Anderson, MD, PhD, professor of pathology, macromolecular science and biomedical engineering; in 1999, Kurt Stange, MD, PhD, professor of family medicine, epidemiology and biostatistics, sociology, and oncology; and in 1983, Duncan Neuhauser, PhD, professor of medicine, family medicine, organizational behavior and health management. # # #

University of Minnesota regents are keeping administrators on their toes as the Medical Schools leaders work to boost its prestige.
This month, a Board of Regents committee reviewed the schools progress toward improving its national ranking, a goal set last year when faculty members created a long-term strategy with designs to attract research dollars and revamp scholarships.
Many school officials say Medical School Dean and Vice President for Health Sciences Dr. Brooks Jackson, who has touted high hopes for the institution since he took the job in February, is well-positioned to ensure the school achieves a top standing.
Besides an internal push for success, Gov. Mark Dayton formed the Blue Ribbon Committee in August to provide guidance for the Medical School. Regents will discuss the committees recommendations in December.
I think having a premier medical school is just crucial to having a premier state university, Dayton said.
The governor noted that the schools current rankings like No. 34 in best research, according to the 2014 U.S. News and World Report are unacceptable.
Thats not good enough, he said.
In the next five years, Jackson said, he wants the Medical School to stand among the top 20 schools for its research. And eventually, he would like the school to rank in the nations top 14 medical schools.
The Medical Schools vision includes efforts like addressing leadership turnover, securing national funding for medical research, improving education and advancing clinical care. The plans step-by-step process aims to help the school regain its position of excellence by 2025.
Regents put the Academic Health Center and the Medical School at the top of their priority list beginning July 2013, when they created a special committee to examine the school more closely, said Regent Linda Cohen, who chairs the committee.

LAS VEGAS - A new medical school is coming to Las Vegas. Chamberlain College of Nursing is opening its first campus in Nevada. Staff and faculty are hosting an open house for prospective students on Tuesday.
The college is accepting applications for the spring semester. It has 30 spots open for nursing students and will admit 30 more students every admissions period. The school has three admissions periods per year.
Chamberlain offers a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. It also offers several online graduate programs.
Students have the opportunity to hone their skills at local hospitals. The school also offers a "simcare center, which is a lab that looks like a hospital in which students practice real-life scenarios on dummies.
The opening of this new nursing school comes at a time when demand for health care workers in Nevada is high. Nevada ranks among the worst states in the nation for doctors and nurses per capita.
Chamberlain College of Nursing Dean Judy Hightower says the school's small classes will better prepare students to enter the workforce.
We try to keep a one to twenty five ratio, she said. So, students can have a lot of one on one experiences with their clinical instructors and their faculty members.
Hightower says she is working to develop relationships with local hospitals, so students who graduate from the college stay in Nevada.
Some grade school students are also getting a head start on their nursing careers. Several Clark County School District magnet schools offer nursing programs.
Chamberlain College of Nursing representatives say these types of programs give students a leg up once they start college.

The Texas Tech Health Sciences Center kiced off the Community Medical School Tuesday, a program that allows students, faculty, staff and community members to ask questions concerning predetermined topics and attend lectures on current public concerns.
The first meeting took place at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Academic Classroom Building in room 150, according to a news release from the Tech Health Sciences Center.
The program allows the HSC to showcase some of its faculty members, Brandi Hargrave, executive assistant to the executive vice-president for academic affairs and the coordinator of the Community Medical School, said.
(The Community Medical School) comes from the academic affairs office and were coordinating with the faculty to come in and do a presentation every month. We have it during the academic school year, Hargrave said. Its the third Tuesday of every month. We bring in a presenter, we bring different speakers from different schools and so we try to give a different topic.
The program will also encourage future college students to pursue a career in medicine, Hargrave said.
The Community Medical School was established five years ago, Rial Rolfe, executive vice president for academic affairs at the HSC, said the program lasts throughout the year and faculty and staff give the presentations at a level that everyone can understand, excluding medical jargon from the lecture.
The program has been successful in past years, Rolfe said, and helps to educate the public in order to create a more knowledgeable community that is aware of what is going on in the medical field as well as throughout the nation.
The goal of the event is really to have an informed public so that, when the public seeks to get health care, or they see things in the news, they know about it, Rolfe said. Its really kind of just general education, but also to help with their own healthcare.
Kelsea Loveless, a second year medical student from Lubbock, said health care professionals from University Medical Center were in attendance as well.
The Community Medical School is open to the community to give the public a chance to see the work of the HSC firsthand, Loveless said.

Medical practices in less competitive health-care markets charge more for services, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The study, based on U.S. health-care data from 2010, provides important new information about the effects of competition on prices for office visits paid by preferred provider organizations, known more commonly as PPOs. PPOs are the most common type of health insurance plan held by privately insured people in the United States.
The study will be published Oct. 22 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"The research comes out of trying to understand some dramatic changes that have occurred in the health-care system over a couple of decades," said the study's lead author, Laurence Baker, PhD, professor of health research and policy at Stanford.
One striking change is the shift from practices with one or two doctors toward larger, more complex organizations with many physicians. One important impact of this can be reductions in the amount of competition among physician practices. The study sought to understand how variation in the amount of competition within a region affects the amounts doctors are paid, an important consideration when developing health policy.
"This has always been an important issue, and now it's even more important as policy moves us more and more toward larger practices," said study co-author Kate Bundorf, PhD, associate professor of health and research policy.
