FAMP M151. Primary Care Scholars Continuity Clinic. 0 Credit Hours.
It is well established that as the US population ages and live with an increasing number of chronic diseases, access to primary care will become increasingly critical. Despite the steady (and growing) demand, a relatively small percentage of students here at Temple choose to pursue primary care specialties following graduation. We have heard from our students that a variety of factors influence their decision; however, early and consistent access to primary care faculty, mentorship support in career planning and visibility of the wide range of options available within the spectrum of primary care are all areas we can easily address today.
