Article Synopsis
  • The outpatient continuity clinic is vital for internal medicine residency training, and the Primary Care Exception Rule (PCER) allows indirect supervision of residents during less complex patient visits.
  • The existing literature on the effects of the PCER is limited, yet it raises questions about its impact on patients, residents, attending physicians, and health systems.
  • Recommendations include avoiding PCER for critical diagnosis situations, advocating for competency-based supervision, and expanding the PCER to cover moderate-complexity visits, along with a call for further research in this area.

Methods: A total of 118 cases from a consecutive series of 137 patients who underwent Evans osteotomy without fixation by a single surgeon were available for review.
