Welcome to part three of our limited series where we pull back the curtain on the publication process. This episode features Family Medicine editors Sarina Schrager, MD, MS, and Octavia Amaechi, MD, advising on what to do upon receiving that dreaded rejection notification. Everybody gets papers rejected, and the reviewer’s comments provide an opportunity to grow, refine your paper, and make it stronger for the next journal submission. Our editors share opportunities to refine your writing skills and keep your work out of the rejection pile. Above all else, they encourage you to remember your “why” and to keep going!

Generative AI for Research and Education: From Theory to Practice
Presented by Tanner Dean, DO, University of Kansas, Wichita
STFM Annual Conference 2024 Closing Session | Wednesday, May 8, 2024
Generative AI, especially tools like ChatGPT, is changing medicine. In this talk, we'll explore ChatGPT's background, its underlying mechanics, and its strengths and weaknesses. Beyond mere understanding, we will explore frameworks needed to safely and efficiently use this technology. Grasping the AI behind ChatGPT as well as best practices will enable us to look at practical uses in primary care research and teaching. This includes using AI for quick Q&A sessions, help in writing, creating visuals, summarizing articles**, and exploring its broader potential.
The future of medical education will blend traditional teaching with AI tools. It's vital for today's educators to have working knowledge of these new technologies. This talk urges primary care professionals to not just watch, but actively join in the AI revolution. By equipping the educators, this talk hopes to inspire participants to dive in to discover the simple yet powerful ways AI can boost their work in medicine. Participants should walk away with a introductory understanding of ChatGPT works, how they can write effective prompts and several ways they can use ChatGPT in their practice.

Family Medicine and the Counterculture Revolution for our Times
Presented by Kevin Grumbach, MD, University of California, San Francisco
STFM Annual Conference 2024 Blanchard Lecture | Monday, May 6, 2024
Family medicine was forged in the crucible of social movements of the 1960s. The consequential issues of our times—climate change, systemic racism, inequality of wealth, gun violence, reproductive rights, among others—are all contests for the common good that require social movements to achieve systemic reform. Primary care, according to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, is also a common good. Is family medicine ready to tap its brash, founding energy to reignite a second counterculture revolution to challenge profits, power, and privilege that harm society’s collective wellbeing? This presentation will address the essential ingredients of a counterculture revolution, including daring to be radical and not settling for incrementalism; speaking truth to power; identifying and dismantling structures that reinforce the status quo; democratizing alliances; and acknowledging one’s own complicity in harmful systems. If the speaker and audience do not feel uncomfortable at some point during the session, then the presentation will not have achieved its objectives.

Family Medicine as Social Justice
Presented by PJ Parmar, MD, Ardas Family Medicine
STFM Annual Conference 2024 Opening General Session | Sunday, May 5, 2024
Many family medicine providers enter the field with significant idealism, and over the course of their career, they get jaded and burned out. For some this happens by the end of their training. This is not the outcome we want. Historically we have been known as community leaders in social justice. Returning our focus to social justice can provide motivation and variety to keep us engaged. To get there, we will need to shift the culture of our practices. This can happen by taking accountability for our privileges, understanding the barriers our patients face, and considering how we can use our training to shift our privileges to those with less. There are tools of patient flow which we can use to improve our encounters and reduce barriers, but the tools also include those which are not just medical. The goal is not just health equity, where we focus on all patients, but health justice, where we focus on the more disadvantaged.

While publication is heavily entwined with the careers of academic practitioners, taking an idea from inkling to project to publication can be overwhelming for both veterans and newcomers to the process. Family Medicine editors Sarina Schrager, MD, MS, and Octavia Amaechi, MD, are appearing in the first of three episodes dedicated to demystifying the publication process. Part one focuses on tips to consider during the early stages of project planning. Our editors also pull back the curtain on the publication process, giving us a behind the scenes view of what happens after you submit.
