Abstract
Storylines of Family Medicineis a 12-part series of thematically linked mini-essays with accompanying illustrations that explore the many dimensions of family medicine, as interpreted by individual family physicians and medical educators in the USA and elsewhere around the world. In ‘II: foundational building blocks—context, community and health’, authors address the following themes: ‘Context—grounding family medicine in time, place and being’, ‘Recentring community’, ‘Community-oriented primary care’, ‘Embeddedness in practice’, ‘The meaning of health’, ‘Disease, illness and sickness—core concepts’, ‘The biopsychosocial model’, ‘The biopsychosocial approach’ and ‘Family medicine as social medicine.’ May readers grasp new implications for medical education and practice in these essays.
