Health is Primary Encourages Students and Residents to Be Champions for Primary Care

During the Health is Primary Main Stage Session at the AAFP’s National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students, physician and rapper ZDoggMD premiered a poignant music video, which showcased the value of family medicine and primary care and the critical role we play in the health care system. To the tune of Lukas Graham’s hit song “7 years” ZDoggMD describes his journey to becoming a primary care physician – despite encouragement to choose subspecialties – and the impact caring for patients has had on his life. He highlights the need for change in health care and the importance of working together to produce a “Health Care 3.0” that values primary care and patients.
