Abstract
The considerable gap in the primary care workforce of the United States is anticipated to widen over the next 10 to 15 years.1 Numerous physician groups have called for increased focus on primary care training in medical education.2-4 In 2009, the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandated an increase for ambulatory training during internal medicine residency, requiring a minimum of 130 half-day clinics over 3 years. This increased requirement presupposes that greater exposure will inevitably lead to more primary care physicians, but some have argued it is increased exposure to high-quality, high-functioning primary care experiences that inspire trainees to contemplate a career in primary care.
