title: Riding Fletcher's Trolley: The unlikely renaissance of the generalist in modern medicine.
abstract: We are witness to a major change in the direction and focus of medical education and practice. After a period of fascination with increasingly specialized and technologically driven medical practice, we are moving to a more balanced view in which generalists are likely to play a greater role. We must recognize the trends in society that parallel this view and respond to the changing expectations of our patients. Training systems must reflect our understanding of this new era.
