Society of Teachers of Family Medicine

Residency Education

The Group on Residency Education was formed to:

  • provide a forum for collaboration and innovation amongst residency directors and other family medicine residency and adjunct faculty whose primary job description involved in teaching family medicine residents,
  • increase/facilitate scholarship and educational research,
  • discuss innovative approaches to the family medicine residency curriculum
  • discuss the unique needs of the intern and upper level family medicine resident learner
  • indentify specific faculty development opportunities centered around residency education
  • study (or organize the studies of) the current status of family medicine residencies
  • consider the continuing development of online modules on core topics of importance to residency faculty

The Groups Goals for 2010-11:

  • to discuss how residency faculty might make best use of the variety of new curricular solutions for residency curriculum (AAFP, FMDRL, fmCASES, Challenger, etc.) for the needs of the learner and for faculty development during this time of change
  • to investigate and innovate the possibilities of a "clearing-house" of studies and surveys of family medicine residencies
  • to increase participation and response rate among the member residencies
  • to minimize the number of surveys that come our way on a daily basis, consolidating them into monthly or quarterly surveys and providing a repository / database of information that is discovered about our family medicine residencies
