TEST BANK PHARMACOLOGY FOR PRIMARY PROVIDER 4TH EDITION EDMUNDS REVISED 2023

When answering a question about the influence on primary care education in medical schools, option A is the correct answer. Changes in Medicare reimbursement methods recommended in 1992 directly increased financial reimbursement to clinicians who provide primary care, leading medical schools to place greater emphasis on preparing primary care physicians. Option B is not directly related to the emphasis on primary care education but rather focuses on competition from nonphysicians to meet primary care shortages. Option C mentions the need for monopolistic control, which is not a significant factor in the emphasis on primary care education. Option D acknowledges the variable success of nonphysicians in providing primary care but does not directly influence the emphasis on primary care education in medical schools.
