abstract: Evaluating a person's physical and psychological make-up and his physical and cultural environment are skills that must be learned by physicians-in-training. The faculty of the Boston City Hospital Primary Care Training Program at the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center uses the home visit to help residents develop these skills.
