Abstract: Health workforce and service delivery are important building blocks of health systems needed for an effective delivery of the different health care services. With the current situation in the Philippines having a lack of primary care physicians, ensuring effective delivery of various health care services remains a major constraint to achieve the different health targets. This study aims to determine the perception and intention of medical students in FEU-NRMF as future primary care physicians. Series of literature reviews was done in order to look into different studies discussing the perception and intention of medical students in different countries in regard to working as primary care physicians 14 primary articles were summarized in tabular form to present their findings regarding the main themes and subthemes. Of the seven articles regarding perception, compensation and career development are the two most frequent sub themes tackled. Meanwhile, of the eight articles regarding intention, different factors influencing the intention of medical students as well as the improvements that would make medical students willing to serve as a primary care physician/generalist were discussed. Most of the articles agreed that factors such as lack of clinical guidance, infrastructure, poor basic needs, no career growth, lack of travel and research opportunities, social isolation, political interference, and heavy workload negatively affect students' perception and intention. Meanwhile, the most important factors influencing recruitment were compensation, followed by career development.
