Practice Intention: Addressing the Needs of Diverse Underserved Communities in Medical Education.
Article in Family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe US physician workforce is at a critical juncture, with a projected shortage and misdistribution of primary care physicians. Culturally and linguistically diverse states, such as California, are challenged to search for innovative approaches in medical education to address the physician needs of diverse underserved communities. The University of California recognizes this imperative and supports Programs in Medical Education (PRIME), including PRIME Leadership and Advocacy (PRIME-LA) at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). This study examines medical education outcomes for PRIME-LA graduates versus a comparator group.
methodsWe conducted a secondary data analysis of the graduation questionnaire responses from UCLA graduates between 2018 and 2023. Our study included 97 PRIME-LA graduates and 811 comparator graduates. Primary outcomes included intentions to practice in underserved areas and intentions to care for underserved populations. Secondary outcomes included participation in experiences related to health disparities, health education, providing mentorship, and specialty of interest.
resultsA higher proportion of PRIME-LA graduates reported an intention to practice in underserved areas than the comparator group (89% vs 32%, P<.001). Intentions to care for underserved populations were higher among PRIME-LA graduates than those in the comparator group (93% vs 44%, P<.001). Family medicine is the most common specialty among PRIME-LA graduates in contrast to graduates of the comparator group (26.4% vs 6.3%, P<.001).
conclusionsMission-based medical education programs play a critical role in addressing the physician workforce gap in underserved communities. The PRIME-LA program may equip students with additional skills and training to address California's physician workforce needs.
