title: Influence of training in family medicine residency on physicians' attitudes toward comprehensive care.
abstract: The authors assessed the influence of residency training in family medicine on physicians' attitudes toward comprehensive care by surveying a representative sample of Quebec family physicians. The sample consisted of 290 physicians trained in family medicine and 267 physicians trained in internship programs. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to measure the influence of training on physicians' attitudes independently of physicians' sociodemographic and practice characteristics. Graduates of family medicine had more positive attitudes than other generalists toward three aspects of comprehensive care, even after controlling for sociodemographic and practice characteristics.
