FAMILY-PRACTICE RESIDENCY GRADUATES AS FACULTY MEMBERS JOURNAL OF FAMILY PRACTICE Hopkins, J. R., Green, W. M. 1978; 6 (4): 823-826

Abstract

The demand for teachers of family practice is being met in part by recent residency graduates. The background of these individuals would not predict that they would become teachers, and a major role adaptation is required of them. Yet a number of factors lead them to elect to become faculty members. They possess several qualities different from faculty members coming from practice backgrounds and are, therefore, able to make unique contributions. A combination of recent graduates and practice-experienced faculty members may represent the ideal mix for the further development of academic family practice.
