hi
can any one tell what primary care categorical exactly means.
is it normal residency program or 1 year program like a preliminary.

thanx

Its 3 yr normal residency but the emphasis is on primary care. Hence if you want to do fellowship, its going to b quite a challenge to get it becoz categorical r preffered over primary care for tht.

thanx sherwood,

dont know what to do.
