Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Resident duty hour restrictions limit elective rotation opportunities.
  • Allergy/Immunology (A/I) serves as a model to study the impact of electives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of elective rotations on resident and faculty physicians.
  • To assess the influence of A/I electives on physician knowledge and referral practices.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to 375 primary care physicians.
  • The survey assessed demographics, training, A/I referral history, and perceived A/I knowledge.

Main Results:

  • 228 surveys were returned, with senior residents and those with A/I rotations showing higher referral rates and knowledge.
