TL;DR
Many academic general internists do not perform or precept common adult ambulatory procedures, and training programs may need to recruit qualified faculty, train current faculty, or arrange for academic specialists or community physicians to teach these skills.
Abstract
Many academic general internists do not perform or precept common adult ambulatory procedures. To ensure that residents have the opportunity to learn routine ambulatory procedures, training programs may need to recruit qualified faculty, train current faculty, or arrange for academic specialists or community physicians to teach these skills.
