Journal of Academic Medicine, v66 n10 p620-22 Oct 1991

A study evaluated the effects of a required ambulatory care clerkship on students' (n=776) knowledge of primary care medicine and subsequent career choices. Results suggest that exposure to outpatient medicine during medical school facilitates student knowledge of primary care medicine and influences career choice. (Author/MSE)
