Senior Residents' Perspectives and Intentions to Teach in Outpatient Primary Care Settings.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPrimary care is pivotal to delivering effective healthcare. However, interest in primary care continues to decline; this is compounded by difficulties recruiting and retaining community-based preceptors to train and inspire trainees to enter primary care. Prior research explored the perspectives of community preceptors, but more concerted efforts across primary care specialties need to be directed upstream to understanding residents' perceptions on becoming future preceptors.
objectiveWe aimed to understand the experiences and factors that shape graduating residents' attitudes about and desire to serve as outpatient preceptors.
designThis was a qualitative study, using a narrative inquiry approach, based on semi-structured interviews.
participantsGraduating Internal Medicine, Pediatric, and Internal Medicine-Pediatric residents at a single institution were interviewed. APPROACH: We developed an interview guide based on researchers' own experiences as medical educators and a pilot interview. Applying inductive analysis, we identified common themes that influenced participants' perspectives on outpatient precepting. With the derived themes, we identified an existing theory that best explained the results. KEY
resultsAfter interviewing 13 residents, four themes were constructed that influence participants' perspectives on becoming outpatient preceptors. The Theory of Planned Behavior, where one's intention is informed by one's behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, and control beliefs, conceptualized the themes. Witnessed advantages and disadvantages of precepting informed participants' behavioral beliefs, preparedness to practice medicine and teach informed their control beliefs, physicians' responsibility to teach contributed to their normative beliefs, and clinical demands were a secondary determinant that influenced all three beliefs.
conclusionsUsing identified themes and the Theory of Planned Behavior, we propose the following recommendations to improve resident outpatient training with the goal of improving long-term community preceptor recruitment: (1) enrich the outpatient learning experience, (2) reinforce the teacher identity, (3) advocate for structural and cultural changes to address current clinical barriers to teaching.
