Abstract
Storylines of Family Medicine is a 12-part series of thematically linked mini-essays with accompanying illustrations that explore the many dimensions of family medicine, as interpreted by individual family physicians and medical educators in the USA and elsewhere around the world. In ‘XII: Family medicine and the future of the healthcare system’, authors address the following themes: ‘Leadership in family medicine’, ‘Becoming an academic family physician’, ‘Advocare—our call to act’, ‘The paradox of primary care and three simple rules’, ‘The quadruple aim—melding the patient and the health system’, ‘Fit-for-purpose medical workforce’, ‘Universal healthcare—coverage for all’, ‘The futures of family medicine’ and ‘The 100th essay.’ May readers of these essays feel empowered to be part of family medicine’s exciting future.
