    AbstractThe Clinton Health Security Act calls for a major shift in the emphasis of medical training. While family practice, general pediatrics, general internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology stand to benefit, other specialties will see decreases in their programs and their residency slots. In light of the present sparsity of programs in family practice and the prevalent student disinterest in the specialty, only heroic efforts will make possible achievement of the 55/50 ratio of primary care physicians to other specialists outlined by the Clinton plan. Problems inevitable in the transition are described and incentives for change suggested.
