A fascinating, new International Family Medicine Fellowship:
The international fellowship would add a fourth year of study.It will combine other training, including classes at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. It will train family practice doctors beyond what they would normally receive in public health, surgery, trauma, anesthesia, radiology and tropical diseases.

Family Practitioners doing trauma surgery?
Uh, no thanks. Sounds a lot like a guarantee of permanent employment for the John Edwards Wing of the Democrat Party.
Rural areas, isolated areas, Third World countries. I believe that’s the idea. I thought my little town was isolated until I took a CME course in Canada. Met doctors from towns where it would take two, three days to evacuate a patient……IF the weather cooperated.
Having done overseas work, albeit limited compared to some, it’s nice to see such training offered in the USA. I went to England for some of that didactic work ’cause it wasn’t offered in the USA at the time. Made sense. They used to own the world, so they had the owner’s manual.
