A physician extender training program based on clinical algorithms

G Charles et al. West J Med. 1977 Jul.

Abstract

The ability of physician extenders to provide patient care in a variety of settings has been reported widely. Less attention has been paid to training programs, especially those of short duration, for physician extenders. A three-month training program for physician extenders at a large teaching hospital was based on teaching the skills needed to run 39 clinical algorithms. The course content and the methods used to test the students during the three months may prove of value to those preparing similar programs.
