Experience of receiving care by interns reduces psychological barrier of community residents to further care in Japan.

CONCLUSIONS: Acceptance by patients of interns' practice was positively associated with experience of care provision by interns. However, there was no significant difference of acceptance among geographic conditions, and among the size of population. Community-based medical education could be implemented and developed independent of geographic and demographic elements in Japan. PMID: 30196705 [PubMed - in process]
