[The role of the primary care physician in the evolution of a care model in a medico-educational establishment].

Following the retirement of the referring physician of an institution for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (DID), the residents found themselves without a general internist. A joint reflection then took place between four actors concerned by the subject: the management of the institution, the health department, Valais hospital and the family and child physician canton branch. At the end of the project, the primary care physician is found to be central to caseload management.
