title: Training family physicians: a case study.
abstract: A survey of USC/RMH Family Medicine alumni indicated that a large proportion have remained in South Carolina, providing primary care especially in small towns and rural areas. These physicians engage in a broad range of clinical activities and feel comfortable with treating a wide spectrum of patient problems. The alumni are active participants in religious, cultural and civic programs in their communities and they express satisfaction with their decision to practice Family Medicine in South Carolina.
