The Meyers Primary Care Institute is a joint endeavor of UMMS and the Fallon Healthcare system. Residents and medical students being trained today will enter a world of medical practice heavily influenced by managed care. The institute’s principal focus is on issues relating to managed primary care, particularly its interface with academic medicine. The institute promotes primary care practice through the development and implementation of innovative programs in research, education and clinical practice.
