Students, Residents, and Educators
The United States is experiencing a shortage of primary care physicians that will only worsen in coming years. In order to attract students to primary care, primary care needs to be on the forefront of medical innovation and development and that means incorporating the PCMH model into medical education. In this section of the website, you will find PCMH resources for students, residents, and educators that will help to revamp medical education and encourage students to become primary care physicians. The PCMH model embodies the qualities that we strive for in our health care system: coordinated care, provided by a physician-led team, utilizing the best available technology and empirical research to ensure quality care and reduce costs. As the PCMH model is incorporated into our health care system, it is essential to teach the model in medical education to keep students at the forefront of medical innovation and encourage students to choose primary care.
