  • IFM | Coverage and Care: What Family Physicians Should Know About Disability Insurance

    IFM | Coverage and Care: What Family Physicians Should Know About Disability Insurance
    Mar 4 2026
    On this episode of 'Inside Family Medicine', you'll hear from Jered Hunt, president of AAFP Insurance Services, and Eric Muehlbach, disability insurance manager, about why disability insurance is a critical part of a family physician's financial plan. They emphasize protecting a physician's greatest asset, future earning potential, by securing coverage early to lock in insurability due to intensive medical underwriting. The discussion covers how to start by reviewing existing employer benefits, common limitations such as own-occupation caps, monthly benefit caps, offsets, taxation of employer-paid benefits, and poor portability, and how personally owned policies can supplement coverage and travel throughout a career.

  • IFM | Recognizing and Managing COPD Exacerbations in Primary Care: A Conversation with Dr. Barbara Yawn

    IFM | Recognizing and Managing COPD Exacerbations in Primary Care: A Conversation with Dr. Barbara Yawn
    Feb 25 2026
    In this episode of Inside Family Medicine we hear from Dr. Barbara Yawn, a family physician and clinical researcher and former Chief Science Officer at the COPD Foundation, about recognizing and managing COPD exacerbations in primary care. Dr. Yawn explains why COPD is often missed due to gradual symptom onset and patients minimizing symptoms, and stresses asking targeted questions about dyspnea, activity tolerance, chronic cough, sputum changes, and frequent colds. She reviews recognizing exacerbations, instructions to call the office, outpatient treatment with short courses of systemic corticosteroids and antibiotics, and considering alternative diagnoses such as heart failure, pulmonary embolus, and pneumonia.
