Hi, Amy – I am pleased to know Daniel W through the ABIM Board of Directors, on which I serve. I continue to appreciate all that you do to prepare the “recommended readings” list!!
The Health Affairs article on TEAM does not appear to be available to non-subscribers in full text. Any suggestions on how to access it?
Thanks!

Hi Randy:
I am glad that you find the Recommended Reading posts useful! Often health systems or universities will subscribe to journals such as Health Affairs, so I would recommend exploring whether you can access the article through Albert Einstein.
