I can speak to that. It's a fantastic question.
I am someone who wants to go into family medicine, so maybe I'll be biased towards this. Santanna is as well.
It's a very good question and something that, as we've been talking about, is very specific to the region and to the people who are entering medical school. The conversations around career prospects at medical schools are that you very much need to find the thing that is going to bring you the most joy and the thing that you're going to be the best at. Ultimately, being a physician, and different types of physician, is a very personal thing.
Ultimately, medical schools are about teaching us to be generalists. We graduate having all of the core competencies to be a physician from a generalist perspective, but the way we've seen care change over the last 20 or 30 years is that because of the quality of care and the expansive nature of health care specialists, more and more hyperspecializations are required.
At the same time, you mentioned that family medicine is deeply needed in this country. As someone who is currently on his clinical rotations, this is something that I see quite consistently. It's immeasurable how many people come in the emergency department or the hospital who do not have a family physician. The impact on them—not only from systemic factors, but also preventative medicine in terms of being able to access care—is quite devastating for those individual patients.
From a medical student perspective, it's something that we all have to consider that we need as individuals and that the populations we're trying to serve need as well.
