Medical education in New York is unique in the country in its scope and its diversity. It is important, as we go forward, that these strengths be neither eroded nor compromised. The AMS member institutions are making a collective commitment to work together to promote changes that will improve medical education for all students by providing them with enriched experience in primary care. Our major resource is faculty. To whatever degree medical schools can influence career choice, it is essential to this aim that the best possible people are placed in the settings in which primary care is taught. The schools will intensify their efforts to recruit and retain such faculty and, in whatever way is appropriate to each institution, provide them with the stature needed to emphasize the value which the school places on primary care. The schools will also work to provide exposure to primary care early in a student's academic career given anecdotal evidence, at least, that such early experience can influence subsequent specialty choice. Finally, the medical schools will assume greater responsibility for graduate medical education. If, with state support, ambulatory teaching sites are developed, the schools will make every effort to assure that they are staffed with high-quality faculty. Residents and students must see primary care practiced with total commitment to quality. It is hoped that, with state-initiated improvements in the practice environment, the ultimate outcome will be an increase in the number of our graduates selecting primary care disciplines for their practices and locating in areas in need of physicians.2+ Corporation, and the Greater New York Hospital Association. We are ready to work with others toward our common objectives, and we call on all of those who share these concerns to participate with us.
