Just Doesn't Get It


In a recent article of the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, Dr. Perry Pugno (director of the AAFP's Division of Medical Education) recommends that the residency length for family medicine should expand to four years. Brilliant. In the Placebo Journal Blog, Dr. Douglas Farrago recommends that the best way to finally kill the profession of family medicine would be to expand the residency to four years.
Dude, only 2% of medical students are choosing primary care as it is. Do you not get it?
