  • Title: Few people in the United States can identify primary care physicians.
    Author: Stock Keister MC, Green LA, Kahn NB, Phillips RL, McCann J, Fryer GE.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 2004 May 15; 69(10):2312. PubMed ID: 15168952.
    Abstract:
    Almost one decade after the Institute of Medicine (IOM) defined primary care, only one third of the American public is able to identify any of the medical specialties that provide it, and only 17 percent were able to accurately distinguish primary care physicians from medical or surgical specialists and non-physicians. This lack of discrimination compromises the goal of achieving primary care for all and merits immediate attention.
