The quarterly Lunch and Learn discussion series disseminates select articles identified by PCC's Research Dissemination Workgroup (RDWG). In these meetings, primary care researchers, advocates, decisionmakers and others are brought together to learn about the key findings and discuss policy and practice implications with the goal of better integrating the research into their decision making.

During the meeting, we spend about 25 minutes on each article, opening with a brief presentation by the article authors, followed by a brief reaction from the Co-chairs and/or research discussant, and then have ~15 minutes for open discussion on each article topic. We invite audience members to place their questions in the chat.

The two articles that will be discussed include:

Kerns JW, Winter JD, Winter KM, Boyd T, Etz RS. Primary Care Physician Perspectives about Antipsychotics and Other Medications for Symptoms of Dementia. J Am Board Fam Med. 2018 Jan-Feb;31(1):9-21. doi: 10.3122/jabfm.2018.01.170230. PMID: 29330235.
Basu S, Phillips RS, Berkowitz SA, Landon BE, Bitton A, Phillips RL. Estimated Effect on Life Expectancy of Alleviating Primary Care Shortages in the United States. Ann Intern Med. 2021 Jul;174(7):920-926. doi: 10.7326/M20-7381. Epub 2021 Mar 23. PMID: 33750188.

Thank you to our Lunch and Learn Co-chairs for facillitating the discussion.

J. William Kerns, MD

Clinical Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University

William (Bill) Kerns was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, where he attended public high school during a transitional era; hisIowa-born wife Christina jokes that she couldn't get him across the Mason-Dixon Line. The truth is more that after graduating from Yale with honors in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, he welcomed being closer to home at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville for what he thought was going to be a research-oriented MD PhD. Instead, he found that a life of libraries and labs did not suit him. He also discovered that his affinity for people was helpful in medicine. He ran away from research to Family Medicine Residency at Eastern Virginia Medical School. read more
