Family physicians perform high-quality colonoscopies, but access is an issue

Most patients who choose colonoscopy as a screening test for colorectal cancer are referred from primary care to a gastroenterologist or other specialist who performs endoscopy. But that wasn’t the case for the estimated 1 in 15 US patients whose screening colonoscopies were performed by family physicians in 2021.

Most family physicians have at some point heard the old saw "jack of all trades, master of none," which I have come to view as less insulting than is usually intended. Schools with primary care pathway programs that send a majority of students into non-family medicine residencies may not be creating future primary care physicians.
