Longitudinal teaching of obstetrics in family practice residency programs.
Family practice residency programs teach obstetrics using both hospital service block rotations and longitudinal management of family practice center pregnant patients. A national survey was conducted to identify characteristics and outcomes of residencies using family physicians and/or obstetricians as preceptors for the longitudinal teaching of obstetrics. Obstetricians were used as preceptors in both outpatient and delivery room settings in 18% of residencies. Family physicians were used in the outpatient setting and obstetricians in the delivery room in 27% of programs. The 37% of programs using family physician faculty as preceptors in both outpatient and delivery room settings differed from other programs in four significant ways: they were most likely to be medical school or military residency programs; they were most likely to be located in the north central and mountain states; they reported greater general satisfaction with their preceptors; and more of their graduates practiced obstetrics after residency.
