The Generation in Between: A Perspective from the Keystone IV Conference

Abstract

Keystone IV affirmed the value of relationships in family medicine, but each generation of family physicians took away different impressions and lessons. “Generation III,” between the Baby Boomers and Millennials, reported conflict between their professional ideal of family medicine and the realities of current practice. But the Keystone conference also helped them appreciate core values of family medicine, their shared experience, and new opportunities for leadership.
