MD Connector — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:00:00 +0000

Although many curricula are designed to increase student interest in primary care, few have been evaluated with regard to participants’ final specialty choice, controlling for characteristics known to predict primary care practice. This session will describe an elective designed to foster interest in primary care, in which second year medical students manage operations at a free clinic, establish a continuity relationship with patients, attend a class covering primary care topics, keep a reflective journal, and complete a community project. We evaluated the impact of this course by surveying a sample of 257 alumni who graduated between 2003 and 2007
