A full-time faculty in one dependent of medicine, 66 (85%) of whom are subspecialists, were surveyed to determine standards for provision and attitudes toward the teaching and practice of primary health care (PHC). A 40-item questionnaire on specific attributes of PHC provision was given to 70 eligible faculty members; 66 (94%) responded. Of 17 standards, nine were supported by 50 (75%) or more of the faculty and eight by from 24 (44%) to 48 (73%) faculty members. However, 51 faculty members (77%) indicated some discomfort with primary responsibility for the complete, ongoing care of their patients. Most frequent reasons for this discomfort were clinic inefficiency (31 votes [47%]) and competing commitments (29 votes [44%]). Few faculty indicated they did not enjoy PHC (eight [12%] of the faculty) or considered PHC inappropriate for academic physicians (ten [15%] of the faculty). These results indicate the complexity of faculty attitudes toward PHC and point to a need for departments of medicine to examine thier teaching and practice of PHC.
