Community-based internal medicine residency training--a report on our first two years.
Since August, 1993, internal Medicine Associates Foundation, Inc. of Tupelo and the Department of Medicine, University of Mississippi Medical Center, have been cooperating in a program of community-based Internal Medicine residency training, the first effort of its kind in the state. We are pleased to report the program an unqualified success, for the residents themselves, the participating private physicians, and the Department as a whole. As one of only a handful of ambulatory care private practice relationships in the country (approximately five percent of Internal Medicine departments have such at present), we feel that ours can serve as a model for other programs to emulate. We therefore present a report on our program's background, organizational structure, curriculum, and future plans.
