I'm sorry for the dumb question, but what exactly is IM-Peds designed to do? I understand you a BC/BE for IM and Peds at the end, but that's about it. Do most im-peds docs end up doing primary care for the whole family?
Here is a link to a useful resource from the National Med Peds Residents' Association http://www.medpeds.org/medpeds/NMPRApamphlet.pdf. It addresses your question but if you want more information about IM-Peds feel free to post or PM me.
