The Institute for Primary Care
To address the escalating shortage of primary care physicians, Quinnipiac established the Institute for Primary Care. The institute will encourage physicians to enter the field of primary care, which encompasses the full breadth of patient services including disease prevention, health maintenance and acute and chronic care for physical and mental illness. Through the institute, faculty and students can explore issues in primary care, investigate the changing role of primary care in today's health care environment and participate in interprofessional service projects.
