Content of the model teaching unit ambulatory care training and continuity of care in six family practice residency programs.

This article summarizes the practice content and continuity for 35 senior residents in six family medicine residency model teaching units utilizing a computerized information management system. Comparisons are drawn with the content of family practices in the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), showing that family medicine third-year residents provide a large proportion of pregnancy care and general medical examinations and treat a smaller number of chronic illness patients compared with family physicians in practice. ⋯ Continuity of care, though espoused by family medicine residencies in principle, was deficient in the model teaching units studied. Intensive training to compensate for these deficiencies is recommended.

AbstractThis article summarizes the practice content and continuity for 35 senior residents in six family medicine residency model teaching units utilizing a computerized information management system. Comparisons are drawn with the content of family practices in the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), showing that family medicine third-year residents provide a large proportion of pregnancy care and general medical examinations and treat a smaller number of chronic illness patients compared with family physicians in practice. Third-year residents performed few surgical procedures in the model teaching units. Continuity of care, though espoused by family medicine residencies in principle, was deficient in the model teaching units studied. Intensive training to compensate for these deficiencies is recommended.
