Pine Ridge Indian Health Service Primary Care Resident Rotation: a summary.
The Pine Ridge Indian Health Service Primary Care Resident Rotation was officially established in January 1992 and operated through May 1996. Sponsored by an Indian Health Service grant, the rotation was conceived in an effort to help address the problem of recruitment and retention of physicians at Pin Ridge in the long term, while offering a unique educational experience for residents. Fifty-eight residents from 40 Family Practice, General Internal Medicine and General Pediatric Residency Programs in 18 states completed the rotation. Four of the rotation "graduates" are currently employed by the IHS at Pine Ridge and two other sites. A fifth physician provided short term service to a fourth site.
