RE: The Practice is the Curriculum

I applaud the realization that the Family Physician is the content expert in their field and the learners need not be farmed out to specialty groups for "education". I believe this will mean looking hard at where FM residencies are placed and how institutions schedule residents' time at and away from the FMC. It will hopefully also attract a breed of FM residents and educators who are committed to the specialty as a primary field. Commitment to primary practice, flexibility in learning techniques, population-based practice, and enthusiasm for the communities served will combine into a wonderfully optimistic future for our specialty.
