title: Family practice in the US Air Force.
abstract: The United States Air Force Medical Service is well suited for family practice because of its early identification with the small community hospital. A plan was originally developed in 1968 to bring family practice to every Air Force member. This paper traces the progress of the program, identifies problem areas, specifies the planning factors and implementation plan, and gives the final goal for full family practice in the USAF.
