摘要

The study by Rittenhouse and colleagues examines the association between attending a medical school funded by the US government's Title VII primary care training grant program and 1 markers of practicing in a setting dedicated to caring for patients and populations that would otherwise be underserved. The finding that Title VII supports the training of physicians who are more likely to staff Community Health Centers and participate in the National Health Service Corps could be in part due to selection factors of who attends these medical schools, but it also implies a possible effect of Title VII in increasing access to care for vulnerable populations.
