To the Editor: Dr. Redka's views are our views. Preparing the Personal Physician for Practice (P⁴) is a consequence of the Future of Family Medicine Project conducted by 6 task forces; all task forces were populated with practicing clinicians. This pattern has been carried forward into the P⁴ project, with the steering committee including full-time family physicians as well as experienced family physicians now working in various roles in health care. It has been exciting to see several of the P⁴ residencies initiate experiments with community practices. The alignment of residency experimentation with practice redesign through TransforMED is not an accident but a commitment to joining what happens in residency with what is needed in practice.
