Physician in the community school

The Department of Family Medicine at the University of Louisville has designed and implemented a unique program entitled Physician in the Community School which exemplifies collaborative effort between the school of medicine and public schools. Through the program, family medicine residents at the University of Louisville "team teach" with elementary school teachers. The program affords residents an opportunity to interact with children in a school setting, teachers obtain expert expertise from a physician, and students gain insights into germane medical topics and have an opportunity to see a physician in a comfortable setting.
