    • Variations in patient populations across residency programs can impact training authenticity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a method for collecting physician-patient encounter data.
    • To compare the clinical content of residents' experiences across three family practice residency programs.
    • To evaluate the authenticity of residents' clinical experiences based on patient demographics and diagnoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected data from over 1,000 consecutive, unselected physician-patient encounters in each of three family practice residency programs.
