This image depicts an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, a butterfly native to North America. Butterflies exemplify the beauty of life’s many stages, much like those we have the privilege to witness as family physicians: from birth and childhood to adulthood and aging. Similarly, academic family medicine nurtures the transformation of learners at every stage of their journey, guiding them as they grow from caterpillars to butterflies.
