An Economic Analysis of a Pediatric Housestaff Practice

Jeffrey Weiss MD1 and Allan De Jong MD1

1 Department of Pediatrics, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia

Pediatric residency programs that stress primary care education are attempting to develop ongoing model practice experiences for their house officers. This paper describes such a model practice and outlines the expenses and revenues involved. In the initial 12 months of operation, revenues have offset 64% of total program costs. Our methods of balancing financial and educational goals are discussed. Program directors are urged to make cost analysis an important part of the evaluation of innovative primary care programs.
