Correctional Medicine with Drs. Hal Grotke, Adia Scrubb, and Tricia Bautista
<p dir="ltr">On this episode of the Family Docs Podcast, Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea speaks with Dr. Hal Grotke, Dr. Adia Scrubb, and Dr. Tricia Bautista on correctional medicine. This is a part of family medicine where some of the most vulnerable, overlooked and complex patients in our healthcare system receive care. It's work that requires not just strong clinical skills, but incredibly deep empathy, resilience, and a commitment to justice and healing. We are so thankful and incredibly honored to be joined by three absolutely extraordinary family physicians who live this work every day. Each of them brings a different lens: clinical, policy, advocacy, and trauma informed care. Together, they provide a perspective on correctional medicine that every family physician absolutely deserves to hear. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Guests:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Hal Grotke, MD, FAAFP</strong></p> </li> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="2"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">I'm a 28 year CAFP member since my second year of medical school.

<p dir="ltr">In this episode, the Family Docs Podcast hosts Dr. Rob Assibey and Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea discuss climate informed patient care and what it means for family physicians in everyday practice.

FMRevolution Origins with Dr. Jay W. Lee and Dr. Rachel Friedman
<p>In this episode, Dr. Rob Assibey and Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea are joined by Family Medicine Revolution legends Dr. Jay W. Lee and Dr. Rachel Friedman. Dr. Friedman was one of two Santa Rosa family medicine residents (along with Dr. Nicole Mohlman) who were fed up with the academic establishment's attitude toward family medicine, and began to draw up plans to make family medicine a force in healthcare. From the Family Medicine T-shirt Revolution, to the social media storm that Dr. Lee championed with #FMRevolution, you'll hear the legends themselves talk about the origin story of this incredible movement and why it's important to carry, and pass, that torch!</p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong></p> <p><strong>Jay W. Lee, MD, MPH</strong> is a family physician leader and public health advocate who co-founded the FMRevolution hashtag – a grassroots movement reclaiming the power, purpose, and future of Family Medicine. He is a passionate voice for primary care justice, physician workforce renewal, and training the next generation to lead boldly, speak truth, and rebuild a health system rooted in relationships, equity, and community.</p> <p><strong>Rachel Friedman, MD</strong> is a family physician in Santa Rosa and sees herself as a "whole person-ologist"-- a specialist not just in one particular organ system, but in the way all of the elements in a person's body, mind, heredity, and environment interact to create health/disease. She moved to Santa Rosa in 2008 to complete family medicine residency, with an additional fellowship in Integrative Medicine, and fell in love with this area. In 2012, she joined KP Santa Rosa as both a full-scope family physician and founding faculty of a new KP family medicine residency. She recently became Program Director of the training program, a leadership role that allows her to continue seeing patients and teaching, while pursuing her passions for whole person, patient-centered healthcare, equity/inclusion, and healthcare transformation/innovation.</p> <p><strong>Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Get some FMRevolution merch, including a throwback #FMRevolution t-shirt and a new take on an original FM T-shirt Revolution shirt at <a href= "http://familydocs.org/store">familydocs.org/store</a>.
