Personality has consequences. Measures of personality have contemporaneous and predictive relations to a variety of important outcomes. Using the Big Five factors as heuristics for organizing the research literature, numerous consequential relations are identified. Personality dispositions are associated with happiness, physical and psychological health, spirituality, and identity at an individual level; associated with the quality of relationships with peers, family, and romantic others at an interpersonal level; and associated with occupational choice, satisfaction, and performance, as well as community involvement, criminal activity, and political ideology at a social institutional level.
In response to the Future of Family Medicine Leadership Committee's recommendations(1) The Ohio State University Department of Family Medicine convened 10 faculty development sessions covering the following strategic objectives: (1) Promoting a Sufficient Family Medicine Workforce, (2) the Role of Family Medicine in Academic Health Centers, (3)The New Model of Family Medicine, (4) Electronic Medical Records, (5) Family Medicine Education, (6) Lifelong Learning, (7) Enhancing the Science of Medicine, (8) Quality of Care, (9) Communications, and (10) Leadership and Advocacy. The focus of this editorial is on initiatives and programs to promote a sufficient family medicine workforce. In comparison to other industrialized countries, the United States ranked lowest in primary care functions and lowest in health care outcomes, but highest in health care expenditures. Despite this fact, the trend for United States medical school graduates to select subspecialty careers continues upward. Through collaboration and advocacy, we can all ensure a continued enthusiasm for the selection and retention of family medicine as a career.
