The Rockford School of Medicine undergraduate quality assurance program.
An undergraduate program of ambulatory care quality assurance has been operational at the Rockford School of Medicine for three years. The original intent of the program was to increase the acceptance of quality assurance activities among student physicians, inculcating in them the importance of peer review at an early stage in professional development. The program experience is described, results of preliminary evaluation reported, and generalizations offered. Activities in the first year of a hospital care quality assurance program are described.
