A comparison of primary care educational experiences in two urban pediatric settings.
The purpose of this study was to initiate the evaluation of the ambulatory care training programs of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and affiliated programs as resources for primary care education, and to provide input into the development of a primary care educational curriculum. It was determined that these settings fell short of fulfilling an a priori set of educational objectives designed to emphasize primary as opposed to secondary care. Foresight must be exercised in the selection of sites and the design of the clinical practice of an acceptable training program in primary care is desired.
