Description Family medicine faculty at medical school throughout the United States have stated that their specialty should be recognized as a required part of the predoctoral medical curriculum. Other medical faculty members have expressed disagreement. Support for family medicine as an integral part of medical education can be found in several sources; among the are "Medical Education in the United States and Canada," the so-called "Flexner Report," and "Physicians for the 21st Century" also know as the GPEP report. A survey of deans of U.S. medical schools and department chairs of family medicine at the same schools highlights the divergent views of the place of family medicine in predoctoral medical education. Family medicine faculty must convincingly argue that medical education should no be limited to an information transfer process before they will succeed in having family medicine recognized as a required part of education
