摘要
The authors analyzed the educational content of the curricula developed for teaching in the generalist disciplines of pediatrics, family medicine, and general internal medicine. Fifteen educational components that constitute the core content shared by the three generalist disciplines arc identified, described, and referenced. Tailoring the generalist curriculum for students and residents at the different stages of learning is reviewed, along with the refinement of the curriculum to meet the special needs of each generalist discipline. The success of a generalist curriculum will ultimately be measured by generalist career choices, quality of care, and both patient and professional satisfaction. The curricular determinants of success require institutional commitment to an educational philosophy that embraces the generalist disciplines, a core curriculum that provides education and training that are correlated with the demands of clinical practice, and generalist faculty who serve as role models, mentors, and teachers.
