title: Community scavenger hunts.
abstract: Interns in an urban family practice program are introduced to the communities of their patients through four half-day community visits which include a "community scavenger hunt." Interns are asked to record their observations of the physical, social, and economic environments of the neighborhoods as they walk through several blocks in groups of two or three. These community visits have heightened the residents' awareness of their patients and the neighborhoods they live in.
