TO THE EDITOR:
I am responding to the ACP position paper on redesigning training for internal medicine by Weinberger and colleagues (1). Redesigning the training of internal medicine residents may prepare some for their future positions, but I do not think it will increase the number of general internists.
Having been in private practice on and off for 16 years and with a university-sponsored internal medicine residency program and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on and off for 10 years, I think you have to change the end point—not the training. General internists must be able to work less hard and be compensated more for what they do.
