The Authors’ Reply—Dr. Buckhold and colleagues report their experience with residency continuity clinics following the transition of their program to a 50/50 outpatient–inpatient model. The educational and clinical outcomes that they assessed showed similar results to our findings, adding to the generalizability of our study. We agree with their call for future research to compare the impact of different block models on patient relevant outcomes. Likewise, there is further need to explore ways to preserve or improve continuity of care within the 50/50 model.
