We have heard about promising increases in primary care from multiple sources. What is left out of the conversation is "The Dean's Lie."

Excerpt:

Would it be more appropriate for medical schools to publish how many of their graduates from 5 years ago currently contribute to our primary care workforce? The problem is, most medical schools know about these specialization rates and publishing the results of retrospective graduates would most likely hurt the image of their medical school rather than boost them onto a pedestal.
