ABSTRACT
The main purpose of basic clinical training for housestaff is to acquire the ability to be a primary physician who can properly manage acute medical problems, develop intimate bonds with patients, and provide them with continuous care. We emphasize the importance of training in the office, clinic, or patients' homes. Although residents have so far spent most of their clinical rotations in an inpatient setting, a training program that devotes substantial time to ambulatory care is indispensable to improve basic clinical training in primary care medicine.
