title: Managed-care organizations' teaching role: its importance in medical education.
abstract: One of the central issues driving integrated system development is educating physicians in managed care. Managed-care organizations need to become more involved in medical education, especially its clinical teaching functions. This affects largely the ambulatory aspects of care and generalist physician training. Academic medical centers and managed-care organizations can achieve this mission through collaboration.
