Why Don’t The Nation’s Top Med Schools Have Family Medicine Departments?

I recently heard an interesting segment on the radio show "Here & Now". Medical students in top schools around the nation are calling for a greater focus on instruction in Family Medicine. Ten of the most prestigious medical schools in America have no instruction in family medicine: Columbia, George Washington, Johns Hopkins, and Yale to name a few. Take a listen...http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2016/04/06/family-medicine-omission.

You can read a longer report from STAT focusing on the lack of family medicine curriculum at Harvard Medical School in particular: https://www.statnews.com/2016/04/05/harvard-medical-school-family-medicine/.
