Abstract

The preparation of military primary care physicians for practice in operational environments has taken on greater importance during the past decade. The Department of Defense military-unique curriculum identifies the elements that should be incorporated into residency training programs to accomplish comprehensive training in operational matters. We describe efforts to integrate the military-unique curriculum into internal medicine residency, including obstacles encountered, so that other programs may learn from our experience.
