Five -Year Progress Report for the United States

David Lawrence, MD, MPH; William M. Wilson, MA; C. Hilmon Castle, MD

JAMA. 1975;234(2):174-177.

Abstract
The MEDEX approach to the training and deployment of physician extenders is described and contrasted with other physician-extender training models, and results of a survey of 277 MEDEX graduates and 207 trainees are presented. Practically all MEDEX graduates and trainees are employed in full-time practice and are working with fee-for-service family physicians in the rural areas of the United States, which suggests that the strategy used to place Medex practitioners into communities requiring additional health services has been successful.
