Efforts to improve pediatric primary care training in residency are important both for the residents and for the patients cared for in residency clinics. Pediatric residents typically get their primary care training at primary care centers affiliated with an academic center or at community-based locations. We aimed to compare residents' experience of continuity clinic in academic centers and community settings, and to identify relative strengths and weaknesses of each.
