Standard Primary Care Year Estimates 2012 Class Year
The Standard Primary Care Year is a common sense measuring tool. Graduates must meet all of 4 criteria to deliver primary care - train in primary care, remain in primary care, serve long careers, and deliver signficant volume. It is not enough just to graduate primary care - especially with US policies that drive primary care graduates away from primary care before training, during training, and each year after graduation. The Standard Primary Care Year estimate = Average Career Years X % remaining in PC for a career X % active for a career X % volume.
