TL;DR
An ambulatory rotation is strongly associated with positive perceptions of, attraction to, and choice of a career in internal medicine, which could help attract more students to internal medicine.
Abstract
An ambulatory rotation is strongly associated with positive perceptions of, attraction to, and choice of a career in internal medicine. Research is needed to determine specific components of an effective rotation. Further development of ambulatory rotations could help attract more students to internal medicine.

A class of generalized estimating equations (GEEs) for the regression parameters is proposed, extensions of those used in quasi-likelihood methods which have solutions which are consistent and asymptotically Gaussian even when the time dependence is misspecified as the authors often expect.

To prepare internists for clinical practice, some training should shift from medical wards and intensive care units to outpatient settings and surgical consultation, additional process skills must be taught, and the epidemiologically important non-internal-medicine disciplines should be included in the curriculum.

Factor analysis showed that three factors, "intellectual challenge of internal medicine," "primary care interests" and "the medicine clerkship" attracted students toward internal medicine, whereas three others, "taking care of chronically ill patients," "level of satisfaction among internists and medical residents," and "workload and stress" pushed students away from internal medicine.

While a number of issues have diminished the attractiveness of primary care residency programs to USGs, the absolute number of residents in these programs has increased rather than diminished over the past decade, although the proportion of USGs choosing these fields has decreased.
