Abstract：
:Review of national programs in the past decade suggests that there is a developing consensus regarding the need for preventive services, but the proportion of them that physicians provide is decreasing. As teachers of preventive medicine, we should have a particular concern with the physician's performance in providing preventive services. Specialization, practice organizations, and comprehensiveness of payment ofr medical care appear to be related to the volume of preventive services provided. Organized primary care practice sites, where other health professionals are available, seem especially well-suited to providing preventive services. A review of several effective preventive activities involving physicians (child and adult immunizations, early detection and treatment of PKU infants, and stroke prevention) indicates that current prevention practice is less than desirable. Better performance can be attained through successful national and community programs of consumer and physician education. Implications of these observations for medical undergraduate and graduate education in prevention are discussed.
