The Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation has published recommendations for improving primary care from a January health policy conference that invited a diverse array of primary care stakeholders entitled, "Who Will Provide Primary Care and How Will They Be Trained?" In particular, the summary report from the conference chairs urged that state and national policies be changed to remove barriers that make it difficult for physician assistants to serve as primary care providers and leaders of patient-centered medical homes or other models of primary care delivery. See AAPA's news release on the Macy report. For more information, please contact Ellen Rathfon, AAPA's Senior Director of Professional Affairs, at
