Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how not having a regular primary care provider affects patients' views on health care and their ability to meet their health needs.

- Key benefits of having a primary care provider include better access to care and stronger relationships with health professionals, while being unattached is linked to negative mental health outcomes and lower confidence in the health care system.

Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC, V5A 1S6, Canada.

This exclusion harms FPs in their clinical roles and has unintended consequences in the management of concurrent personal responsibilities, many of which were amplified by the pandemic. The objective of our study was to explore the experiences of FPs during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic to better understand how they managed their competing professional and personal priorities.
