Four-year training in family medicine: strength through versatility using the uniformed services as a model.


Abstract

While military family physicians do not believe that extending family medicine residency to 4 years will increase interest in the discipline, they do acknowledge that extending training beyond the current 3-year model would be beneficial.

Because of the central role of family physicians within the military health system, military family medicine residencies present an ideal environment for examining educational outcomes using 4-year training models.
