“…If the relative attractiveness of the tWQ disciplines is to be equalized, physicians publicly committed to providing front-line health care must also be given the appropriate kinds of assistants at public expense; these include physician assistants (9,11,12), clinic nurses (13)(14)(15), home-care nurses (15)(16)(17), social workers (15), technicians (15), and medical interviewers (16). Some of these assistants can often perform more than one of these roles (17).…”

The greatest deficiency in health care in the United States is the inadequate supply of family‐oriented or front‐line medical care. In order to improve the attractiveness of front‐line medical practice, physicians who publicly make their major commitment to it should be assured access to appropriate facilities and to the services of an adequate volume and variety of assistants provided at public expense, as is now done for medical subspecialists. Family medicine programs should be established in medical schools to provide the greatly needed education and research in front‐line health care. In the future the methods of financing health care should include mechanisms to provide special incentives to attract professional health‐care workers to dedicate their careers to solving the most serious deficiencies that may develop.

The great need for effective realignment of medical talent and knowledge for the solution of the health problems of our society is attested to in the reports of recent commissionsl-* and by this conference itself. Shortages of medical and paramedical manpower,l-3 increasing costs of medical care? and lack of effective relationship of various parts of the medical care system to one another' all are matters of conccm. These issues are matters of concern not only to health professionals; for it has become increasingly apparent that maldistribution of physicians, failure to provide equal opportunities for health care to all our people, skewed organizational relationships of various medical specialities and methods of medical practice and education are issues of real concern to society at large. Institutions of learning have begun to respond.Departments of community medicine and other comparable units now exist at several schools;5 major efforts in the areas of medical practice and research in medical care have begun;6 medical school involvement in community sponsored health care programs now is a reality;7-10 and programs for training of new types of allied health personnel are under way.ll-18Determination of the most effective way in which any given medical school can contribute to the solution of such complex and diverse sociomedical problems will vary from school to school. The program we will describe here grew in response to many factors, including those already mentioned, and has as its purpose the development of health care programs with a strong academic base in research and teaching. BACKGROUND AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DIVISIONThere were several immediate stimuli for a program in Health Care Research at Washington University. One was the progressive difficulty experienced in the operation of the out-patient clinics in the member hospitals of Washington University Medical School and Associated Hospitals ( WUMSAH) . To a greater or lesser extent, these clinics suffer from the same problems as do other out-patient departments. A high proportion of patients fail to return for
