Abstract
The 'multimorbidity generalist' is the future. Such doctors will prove to be key to sustainable healthcare systems in the 21st century. The multimorbidity generalist combines preventive, generalist (i.e. system-based), and coaching competencies to treat the increasingly multimorbid patient populations in a patient-centred, effective and efficient way. The medical profession must now dare to take the lead and employ self-regulating policies that will legitimise and strengthen the role of the multimorbidity generalist within in the Dutch healthcare system
