University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.

In August 2012 the University of Maryland School of Medicine will start a new Primary Care Track for incoming first year medical students as a collaborative program of the departments of Family and Community Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics. Its focus will be to introduce all students to primary care role models early in medical school, and to offer a longitudinal experience in primary care in rural and urban underserved communities to interested students, with the intention of increasing the number of UMD medical students who choose primary care careers in these communities.
