TI  - Contemporary clinical issues in outpatient obstetrics and gynecology: findings of 
      the Collaborative Ambulatory Research Network, 2001-2004: part I.
PG  - 780-6
AB  - Obstetrician/gynecologists are taking on more primary care responsibilities and 
      thus are expected to have a wider base of medical knowledge on a variety of 
      women's health issues. The Collaborative Ambulatory Research Network (CARN) was 
      created in 1990 to investigate issues pertinent to women's health and to the 
      practice of obstetrics and gynecology in the outpatient setting. This article 
      summarizes the findings of CARN studies from 2001 to 2004, covering topics of 
      infectious diseases, cancer screening, and metabolism and nutrition. Each study 
      provides a glimpse into the current practice patterns, attitudes, and knowledge 
      of the practicing obstetrician/gynecologist. Although aggregate results suggest 
      that clinicians are consistent and knowledgeable in traditional areas of 
      practice, there appears to be a need for comprehensive educational programs to 
      increase clinicians' comfort level with and knowledge of many contemporary 
      primary care issues.
