Published September 2014 • 2014/3 2014 Published September www.innovativepublishing.com President Boothe Q&A Dr. Julia Boothe received her undergraduate degree in biology from the Univer- sity of Alabama. She completed her medical school training at the University of Alabama School of Medicine in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Boothe was a Rural Medical Scholar at the College of Community Health Sciences in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and she earned a master’s degree in public health from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health. She completed her residency training at the Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency Program, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in June 2005. Dr. Boothe became board-certified in family medicine in July 2005. She is the owner of and practices at the Pickens County Primary Care in Reform, Alabama. The Scope of Family Medicine recently had an opportunity to sit down with our new president and get to know her a little better. What was the reason you chose a career surgical physician’s assistant.

My hope is that family medicine will lead the front of primary care as health care delivery continues to evolve. As primary care providers “from the womb to the tomb,” we are situated in a great position to advocate for all of the citizens of Alabama and America through the process of change that we are entering in health care. I see us working more with patients to help them make decisions specific to their needs. Right now, we more often refer to algorithms than use the art of medicine to make choices. Going forward, I see there being many more choices on the front end; patients are going to have more cost choices that they are not used to having to make. We, as family medicine providers, will have to educate ourselves more and more to help our patients as consumers rather than just as patients. Dr. Boothe lives in Coker, Alabama, with her husband, Aubrey, and their two children, Laura Adelynn (12) and Sarah Beth (7). Please join us in welcoming your 2014-2015 president, Julia Boothe, MD.
