Governmental public health professionals and community physicians often have limited understanding of each other's roles and responsibilities. To increase the connection between public health and primary care as well as to incorporate rural health care in graduate medical education training, a new "Kaua'i Rural and Public Health Selective" brings Family Medicine resident physicians (Residents) into the local health department on Kaua'i. This first-time collaboration between the Kaua'i District Health Office (KDHO) and University of Hawai'i John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) Family Medicine Residency Program advances Residents' understanding of public health and has been well-received by Residents and by department of health staff. Future plans include evaluation and continued incorporation of public health experiences into the core curriculum of a rural Family Medicine residency training program based on Kaua'i.
政府公共卫生专业人员和社区医生通常对彼此的角色和责任了解有限。为了加强公共卫生和初级保健之间的联系，并将农村医疗纳入研究生医学教育培训，一种新的“考艾农村和公共卫生选择”将家庭医学住院医师（住院医师）纳入考艾的当地卫生部门。这是考艾地区卫生办公室 (KDHO) 和夏威夷大学约翰 A. 伯恩斯医学院 (JABSOM) 家庭医学住院医师计划之间的首次合作，提高了住院医师对公共卫生的理解，受到了住院医师和卫生部门工作人员的欢迎。未来的计划包括评估，并根据考艾的情况，将公共卫生经验继续纳入农村家庭医学住院医师培训计划的核心课程中。
