Abstract: Pennsylvania developed a generalist physician initiative, inspired by that of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, initiating a longitudinal tracking system at six allopathic and two osteopathic medical schools to follow students from matriculation into professional careers. The statewide database includes information on over 18,000 students, graduates since 1982. Program concept, technical implementation, and implications for other schools are discussed. (Author/MSE)
