- W2341707405 abstract "To the Editor: We applaud Dr. Fins’s1 suggestion to create an expert–generalist “track.” In fact, we think so highly of this idea that we brought it to fruition 20 years ago in the University of Michigan Department of Family Medicine (UMDFM). Several other large academic departments of family medicine have also pursued this approach. UMDFM is relatively large by family medicine standards with roughly 90 full-time faculty members, an essential feature that allows for recruiting or training faculty members with a wide range of special skills within what remains a fundamentally generalist discipline. Some of these special skills are supported by certificates of added qualification from the American Board of Family Medicine (e.g., sports medicine, geriatrics). Others are developed without formal certification, but certification is subsequently achieved. Some skills remain more informal but require substantial focused training (e.g., hospice and palliative medicine, hospitalist care, adolescent medicine, integrative medicine, women’s health care including operative obstetrics). We offer the following observations based on our experiences. Faculty members with special expertise are critical teaching resources for students, residents, and fellows and make very different contributions to learners than do traditional subspecialists. “Expert–generalist” faculty members bridge for both teaching and clinical purposes what is often a large gap between primary care physicians or trainees and subspecialists, as Dr. Fins notes. Some primary care physicians struggle to reconcile their generalist value system with special knowledge and skills. We have long emphasized that what defines generalists is not what they do, but how they think, a critical foundation of this approach. A primary care sports physician is not an inadequately trained orthopedic surgeon, but a family physician who takes a comprehensive and holistic approach to a wide range of problems related to exercise and sports, including nonmusculoskeletal problems. We have found no resistance from residents to the additional training needed. Residents value special expertise and the credentials that come with it. They also understand that, somewhat paradoxically, such skills narrow their academic career options. We also oppose the shortening of undergraduate medical education, when espoused as appropriate only for those pursuing primary care careers. We believe, as do many academic family physicians, that primary care is as complex as subspecialty practice, albeit in different ways.2 Dr. Fins writes from the perspective of general internal medicine, which exists within a highly subspecialized medical discipline. We believe the experience of academic family medicine can contribute to the development of his ideas. Thomas L.
