A Comparison of Two Approaches to Producing Competent Primary Care Physicians.

Sarnacki, Randolph E.

Journal of Medical Education, v54 n3 p224-29 Mar 1979

It was concluded that only the one advocating medical curriculum manipulation offers a viable direction and that focusing on selecting applicants with certain biographical characteristics has inherent shortcomings.
