College health services as a site for ambulatory care training of residents and medical students.
The education of residents and medical students in ambulatory care settings continues to play a greater role in medical education than was the case even a few years ago. This report documents the use of college health services, commonly called student health centers, at California institutions of higher education, as training sites for residents and medical students in 1988. Directors of residency programs that had used student health centers for their residents reported that they were pleased with the association. The directors of student health centers that had had residents on educational rotations also reported a high level of overall satisfaction. Student health centers represent an untapped resource, as only 20% of such centers in California were being used to train residents at the time of this study.
