New Podcast on Family Medicine Set to Begin in Early September Two State Family Physicians of the Year will host innovative show
The NC Academy of Family Physicians is pleased to announce the start of a new podcast entitled “The Family Physician: Lessons Learned…Wisdom Shared.” The NCAFP is partnering with two past state Family Physicians of the Year to develop the podcast. NCAFP Past President and 2020 NC Family Physician of the Year Dr. Thomas R. White will interview well known family physicians in North Carolina and beyond, asking them to share their pearls of wisdom and lessons learned throughout their career. The podcast will be produced by another past NC Family Physician of the Year, Dr. Lee Beatty ('16), who is now retired and living in Durham. The podcast will offer both a historical look at Family Medicine in our state and beyond, but also offer pearls of wisdom to current and future family physicians. In the inaugural episode of the podcast, Dr. White will interview Dr. Beatty about his decades-long career in Mt. Holly. Future interviews already confirmed include Dr. James G. Jones, the founding Department Chair of Family Medicine at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, with

more to be announced soon. The podcast adds a second offering sponsored by the NCAFP. Greg Griggs, Executive Vice President and CEO, will continue to host the monthly podcast NCFM (North Carolina Family Medicine) Today discussing issues of importance to the NCAFP and outlining efforts the Academy is undertaking to assist our state’s family physicians. NCFM Today will continue to be published around the 15th of each month.
