Community-integrated undergraduate medical education is becoming a more common option for students predisposed to practice in rural and small town places. One such initiative, the Northern Medical Program, has been operating since 2004 in the northern interior of British Columbia, Canada. The NMP's curriculum relies heavily on the involvement of practicing physicians in its host community, Prince George. Drawing on Bourdieu's conceptualization of capital in its different forms, the commitment of the local physician community is understood as social capital derived from cultural capital centred on a collective sense of professional identity forged by conditions of practice in an underserviced area. The findings of this study are discussed with respect to the long-term operation and success of community-integrated medical education programs.
社区整合式本科医学教育正成为倾向于在农村和小城镇行医的学生的一个更为常见的选择。其中一个这样的项目是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省北部内陆的北方医学项目，自 2004 年以来一直在运作。NMP 的课程很大程度上依赖于其所在社区（乔治王子城）执业医生的参与。本研究借鉴布尔迪厄关于不同形式资本的概念，将当地医生群体的投入理解为一种社会资本，源自以在服务不足地区行医的条件为中心的集体职业认同感的文化资本。本文还讨论了社区整合式医学教育项目的长期运作和成功。
