Many family medicine residencies are located in areas of need and specifically aim to produce primary care physicians to improve health care outcomes in these areas. In contrast, internal medicine programs are known for emphasizing preparation for fellowship and sub-specialization. Less than 30 percent of internal medicine residents choose primary care as a field. In some programs, this generates a culture that is unfriendly to primary care generally and a lack of mentors in primary care. There is also a very strong emphasis on hospital work in many internal medicine programs, to the detriment of the primary care experience.
