To the Editor: I was glad to learn of the pilot project in longitudinally integrated clinical education for third-year medical students at Harvard Medical School and the Cambridge Health Alliance, as reported by Hirsh et al. (Feb. 22 issue).1 It will be interesting to see whether outcome data from this and other efforts to reform undergraduate medical education by increasing continuity of care, curriculum, and supervision confirm the reasonable expectation of the authors that "enhanced learning, greater patient satisfaction, and more efficient and effective medical care" will result.
