Stuck in Graduate Medical Education Traffic? Teaching Health Centers Are Family Medicine’s High-Occupancy-Vehicle Lane

In this issue of the Journal, Levin and colleagues1 report that family physicians trained in Teaching Health Centers-predominately residency programs sponsored by Community Health Centers (CHCs)-were twice as likely to intend to continue working in these settings compared with those trained in other settings. This finding is remarkably consistent with an earlier study2 that showed CHC-trained family physicians were 2.7 times more likely to work in underserved settings than non-CHC-trained family physicians.
