title: The Texas Family Practice Residency Program: a profile.
abstract: In 1977, the 65th Texas Legislature created the Texas Family Practice Residency Program to encourage the training of family physicians and to improve access to health care in medically underserved areas. During the past 12 years, the number of family practice residency programs has grown from 12 to 25, with 1,174 graduates as of September 1988. This article discusses the program's origins, administration, effectiveness, and future.
