“2020 was framed by C.R.A.P.—or more specifically Change, Resilience, Adaptation and Perseverance.”—Curtis Webster, Jr. 
Curtis Webster, Jr. capsulized the point of this issue of Physician Family Magazine into an acronym SO suitable for 2020–C.R.A.P. which, unlike the word many folks have used to describe last year, stands for Change, Resilience, Adaptation and Perseverance. 
Change is inevitable, and for health care professionals at every level, even more so. Change in medicine is usually GOOD, because it means that a lot of really smart people are coming up with new and better ways to take care of patients and improve public health. Change can also be a challenge, though, requiring physician families to practice the last three words in the acronym–resilience, adaptation and perseverance–all of which are positive and empowering. 
This issue of Physician Family Magazine is a testament to the resilience shown by physician families in the face of change. Change can be good–or change can be bad. It’s how we ADAPT to change which makes the difference. Physician families continue to show resilience in the face of change–and we can all be proud of that. 

You can read this valuable “go-to” guide for medical families online anywhere, any time as a FREE GIFT from the AMA Alliance! Here at Physician Family Magazine we “get” your life in a physician family. Each issue focuses on a relevant theme, covering the issues and challenges faced by physician families with special emphasis on the four stages of life in medicine – medical school, residency and fellowship (aka “the training years”) active practice and retirement.   

Physician Family Magazine now includes Alliance in Motion Magazine as a bonus! Both are published by the American Medical Association Alliance, the nation’s largest network of physician families, connecting physician families for healthier communities since 1922. AMA Alliance members receive hard copies in the mail as a member benefit!
