title: Experience with community academic practice: strategies for the ambulatory education of residents.
abstract: The expectation that training programs will place more of their physician graduates into primary care has caused internal medicine programs to explore different educational experiences for their residents. One proposal is to transfer the ambulatory training site for residents from the hospital clinic to a community academic practice (CAP) site. We discuss the theoretical aspects, the practical considerations, and our experience with one CAP site, including the problems that have been solved and the problems remaining.
