		Word From the Editor
		"Since 1987 Core Curriculum in Primary Care has addressed the educational needs of primary care physicians. The faculty are instructed to address 'what is the current best standard of practice' and 'what can the primary care physician do to effectively manage the patient themselves'. The topics are chosen by primary care practitioners through an annual survey which provides guidelines for the development of curriculum and faculty." Michael Rees, MD, Primary Care Physician and Clinical Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School
