- Title
Correctional Health Primary Care: Research and Educational Opportunities.
- Authors
Fraser Hale, Janet; Brewer, Arthur M.; Ferguson, Warren
- Abstract
Correctional health offers unparalleled opportunities for primary care research on clinical outcomes for a unique population and setting that provide rich experiences for health professions education, training, and practice. Because all correctional facilities are part of a larger community and 95% of inmates will eventually be released back to their communities, inmate health and well-being have a direct impact on the larger community. Collaborations between academic and correctional medicine can significantly affect the public's health by providing care to one of its most vulnerable populations, one with significant pathology and health disparities.
