In Reply.— Dr Lobeck's and Dr Moscola's letters to the editor regarding my article on "The Future for Pediatric Education" are thoughtful and challenging. Dr Lobeck is disturbed because he finds pediatrics too discipline-specific and not paying sufficient attention to the larger issue of primary care in general. As a result, Dr Lobeck says, pediatrics has given up a leadership position in primary care that it held in the sixties and has turned the field over to general internal medicine and family practice.

Using Data

Objective.The purpose of this study is (1) to survey graduates of our internal medicine program for use of musculoskeletal (MSK) procedures in primary care practice and assess the influence of participating in a first-year resident arthrocentesis and soft-tissue injection training course on their MSK procedure comfort/utilization; and (2) to use the results to modify our MSK procedure curriculum.Methods.A questionnaire designed to assess numbers of, comfort with, and effect of resident training on MSK procedures in the preceding year was sent to 2002–2006 graduates of the internal medicine training program in outpatient primary care (OPC). Graduates practicing hospital medicine (HM) also received the questionnaire and served as a comparison group.Results.There were 52 responses from this group of 84 graduates (64% response rate). OPC graduates (N = 32) were more comfortable doing procedures than those practicing HM exclusively (N = 20), and performed significantly more procedures in the preceding year (32.9 procedures per OPC/year vs 2.2 for HM). The most common procedures performed were knee joint, subacromial bursa, and trochanteric bursa, comprising > 75% of all procedures performed. A structured resident course in MSK procedures had a significant effect on the OPC physicians. Course participants (N = 17) performed almost twice the number of procedures/year as the nonparticipants (N = 15), were more comfortable with the procedures, and were significantly less likely to refer procedures to other clinicians. Written comments by respondents suggest additional MSK procedure training during and after residency is needed.Conclusion.Our results suggest a structured resident course in MSK procedures has a longterm influence. A progressively more focused approach to training is needed.

9568 Background: Encouraging cure rates for childhood cancers have resulted in a population of adult childhood cancer survivors (CCS) that are at risk for late effects of cancer-directed therapy. Late effects often occur when CCS are older and receive routine medical care from internists and family practitioners. Our study identifies facilitators and barriers to providing optimal late effects screening as well as evaluating information sources primary care providers (PCPs) perceive as useful, including cancer treatment summaries, survivorship care plans, and Children's Oncology Group (COG) guidelines. Methods: We sampled 1,500 randomly selected general internal medicine and family practice physicians from the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile for a nationwide mail survey. We received 351 surveys with data. Using chi-squared tests or t-tests to compare responders and non-responders we found a higher response rate for family practice (30.2%) compared to general internal medicine (16.5%) (p<.0001). Results were tabulated for descriptive purposes and linear regression and logistic regression were used for the multivariable modeling. Results: Most (84–86%) PCPs stated that they had never received a cancer treatment summary or survivorship care plan; despite this, greater than 90% thought these documents would be useful. Most PCPs (93%) had never used COG guidelines, but 86% agreed that they would follow their recommendations. A minority of PCPs perceived that their medical training was adequate to recognize late effects of chemotherapy (27.6%), cancer surgery (36.6%), and radiation therapy (38.1%). Conclusions: PCPs have a low level of awareness about the medical problems of CCS; receive inadequate training to recognize late effects; and infrequently utilize, cancer treatment summaries, survivorship care plans, and COG guidelines. By evaluating the perceptions of PCPs, we have identified problematic areas for future investigation and have begun to lay the groundwork for incorporating follow-up care for CCS into routine general medical practice.
