Protein Families

Protein Families

Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism. Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members. If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Gene Families

Gene Families

Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Family Therapy

Family Therapy

Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.

Background:

The Family Medicine for America's Health (FMAHealth) Workforce Education and Development Tactic Team (WEDTT) was established in December 2014.
A key objective was to address the need for a diverse primary care workforce in the United States by increasing family physician production.
The WEDTT focused on involving students, residents, and early-career physicians in leadership development.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish and implement the "25 x 2030" aim, a collaborative goal to increase the proportion of medical students selecting family medicine.
To develop and execute change strategies aimed at achieving the "25 x 2030" target.
To provide recommendations for future policy and strategic initiatives to support family medicine workforce growth.

Main Methods:

Formation of a multilevel, interfunctional team involving key family medicine sponsoring organizations.
Development of a comprehensive package of change ideas based on a defined theory of change.
Implementation of specific projects by the WEDTT and collaborators to advance the "25 x 2030" aim.

Main Results:

Adoption of the "25 x 2030" shared aim: increasing the percentage of US medical students choosing family medicine from 12% to 25% by 2030.
Completion of various projects by the WEDTT and collaborators to drive progress toward the "25 x 2030" goal.
Identification of key recommendations for future workforce development.

Conclusions:

The "25 x 2030" initiative requires ongoing collaboration and collective impact from family medicine organizations.
Future efforts should focus on policy to enhance medical school social accountability and align strategies with younger generations' preferences.
Active engagement of students, residents, and early-career physicians, alongside ensuring practice scope security, is crucial for diversifying and strengthening the family medicine workforce.
