#143 AMA FAMILY PRACTICE PROGRAM (Adopted by AMA House of Delegates, June, 1959) The proposed two-year program presented below should assure the opportunity for adequate preparation of the future physician to provide medical care for all members of the family. It should be emphasised that the proposed program is conceived in its entirety as concerned with the preparation of physicians in the future for family practice. It should not be Interpreted by hospitals or other institutions or organizations as having import for the training or privileges of general pract recommending a program for the family practice of medicine, the committee believes that primary consideration should be given to an educational experience enabling the physician to provide medical care for all members of the family irrespective of age. After determining that the period beginning at the time of receiving the M.O. degree is the most appropriate one for a new plan of preparation for family practice, the committee agreed to concern itself with a minimal or basic program. Since the program is designed to fulfill a logical need, it Is reasonable to anticipate that state board regulations, military obligations, and taff policies and privileges will be altered recognise the merits o program. RELATIONSHIP TO THE EXISTING INTERNSHIP. The internship year as presently constituted cannot be considered as a component of this program for it would result in dividing it into two separate segments. The internship was designed many years ago to provide the initial contact with and responsibility for patients. Since the development of the medical school clinical clerkship, the Internship no longer comprises such initial patient contact but rather it is now considered as one of several graded steps toward the assumption of total responsibility for patient care. Further, there is now general agreement that the one-year internship alone is inadequate as preparation for the practice of medicine. The present values of the internship will ha an inherent part of the proposed program, but cannot be separated out of it as a segment without weakening the greater values to be derived from dealing with the new program aa a unified whole. The graduate program proposed as preparation for family practice la designed to be more comprehensive then the internship in regard to petient responsibility, educational content, and continuity of experience. Minimal Requirements :he Basic Program Under the existing circumstances, the committee believes thet a period of at least two years of formal hospital training following attainment of the medical degree is necessary in preparation for the family practice of medicine. However, time alone cannot serve as a valid measure of educational adequacy. The two-year period would be minimal even where the other factors of educational quality and content are optimal.
