title: The case for keeping the family physician in the emergency department.
abstract: For several reasons, emergency department utilization has shot up in the last few years, most notably in the area of non-urgent care. The College of Family Physicians has been concerned with the status and education of family physicians working in emergency departments and has formed an ad hoc Committee on the Emergency Care Physician. The committee's findings and recommendations are documented in this article.
