J Am Board Fam Med. 2021 May-Jun;34(3):459-461. doi: 10.3122/jabfm.2021.03.210099.

Abstract

This issue provides inspiring reports of family medicine during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the provision of just-in-time COVID-19 information for clinicians. Conversely, burnout - yes or no? The issue includes information that suggests the negative effects of social determinants are related to America's system of paying for medical care. The announcement of the availability of an on-line archive of the official first journal of family medicine gives us the chance to acclaim Dr. Geyman, who started the Journal of Family Practice and was the first editor of this journal. And, as usual, there is more!
