Dr. Oladimeji Oki, a Family & Social Medicine physician in the Bronx, discusses what primary care looks like in his practice and shares with us his work to build a pre-clinical medical curriculum to push students' understanding of health equity and community outreach. Our discussion of primary care touches upon: food activism; buprenorphine and opioid use disorder; and forces us to revisit digital equity, as gaps in high-speed internet access pose a barrier to successful video-visits for many patients. This episode also explores how Einstein's Family & Social Medicine Residency program trains physicians to work in and learn from their local community. 

Dr. Oki is the Theme Director of the Population Health Science Curriculum, Assistant Director of Medical Student Education, Assistant Clerkship Director,  and Assistant Professor, Department of Family & Social Medicine at The Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
