Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is flourishing in family medicine. This issue presents a collection of POCUS articles exploring its use among family physicians, including specific applications and barriers to implementation. In addition, 4 articles present screening considerations for common problems - anxiety, social determinants of health, cervical cancer, and prostate cancer. Common practice management issues include urine drug screening in the care of patients with opioid use disorder, improving Human Papilloma Virus vaccination rates, and enhancing patient portal use in low resource settings. A series of articles comments on family medicine workforce issues, discussing ongoing challenges facing the discipline. Two helpful clinical reviews round out the issue - well water safety and combination medications for hypertension.
