In July 1985, in recognition of the increasing need for broadly trained primary care internists, the Department of Medicine implemented a Primary Care Track under the direction of the Division of General Internal Medicine. The goal is to train physicians in comprehensive care of the adult patient. The core training experience focuses on in-patient internal medicine, an experience essentially identical to that provided in the Categorical Track. Graduates of the Primary Care Track describe themselves as well prepared to practice primary, consultative, and critical care medicine, and they have performed as well on the ABIM certifying examination as graduates of the Categorical Track. The Primary Care Track offers an optional curriculum, that provides primary care training with an additional focus in Women's Health Continuity Clinics In recognition of the need to acquire skills in out-patient medicine, the Primary Care Track provides more ambulatory training than is offered in the Categorical Track.
Hope this helps...
