The physician's role in Boston University's Home Medical Service.
At one time home care was the norm for medical care, with physicians traveling from one patient's home to another. Today it's a different story--very few physicians make house calls. Boston University, however, has included home care in its curriculum for medical students, priming them to take part in geriatric and community medicine when they graduate.
