Revolution in Education on the Horizon—National Residency Training Demonstration Launches This Fall
A revolution in family medicine residency training is in the works.
Within 6 years, some family medicine residency training may begin during the fourth year of medical school. Or it may lengthen to 4-year programs. Residents may routinely care for patients in their homes or see them in street-side clinics that serve the homeless. Programs could enhance the use of simulated clinical encounters, or they may reinforce the value of learning procedures in outpatient clinics.
Many of the innovations will arise from a nationwide demonstration project that gets underway this fall with a call for proposals for a national experimental project dubbed Preparing the Personal Physician for Practice, or P4.
Residency programs can submit a letter of intent to participate in P4 by going to the Web site of TransforMED, www.transformed.com, the AAFP practice redesign initiative that also will provide oversight to participating programs. The TransforMED site will contain a special link to the P4 project, including the online call for proposals and application. Proposals will be accepted September 1 through midnight September 29.
Residencies will be asked to describe the innovations that would be implemented and tested and address the difference the innovation will make in the program’s graduates.
Programs that submit successful proposals during stage one of the application process will be asked to submit a full proposal that provides more details. At this stage, the residencies will describe the problems to be addressed by the innovation, the essential features of their experiment and how they connect to the new model of care, the components of the residency program that will change during the experiment, the hypotheses or researchable questions to be addressed, and the determining factors in deciding whether the experiment requires alteration and determining whether the innovation succeeds.
Selected P4 programs are expected to be chosen by late January 2007 and may begin launching their experiments by June 2007.
The P4 nationwide demonstration project was initiated this spring with $1.7 million in pledges from the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD) and the American Board of Family Medicine Foundation.
Up to 20 residency programs will test teaching innovations that are designed to prepare family physicians for the new model of care described in the Future of Family Medicine report, www.annfammed.org/cgi/content/full/2/suppl_1/s3.
Described as “a pragmatic, comparative case study of 10–20 experimenting residencies,” P4 is expected to unleash “a barrage” of new ideas for teaching residents, according to Samuel Jones, MD, cochair of the P4 steering committee, president-elect of AFMRD, and director of the Virginia Commonwealth University/Fairfax Family Medicine Residency Program in Fairfax, Va.
Among potential areas of experimentation are:
• Source and content of training, such as a change in approach to maternity care, enhancements in chronic disease management, or differentiation for a particular patient population
• Length of training, such as incorporating first-year residency content with the fourth year of medical school or expanding residency training to 4 years to enhance the breadth or depth of competency
• Place of training, such as more emphasis on in-home care or other nontraditional sites
• Structure of training, such as changes in the order and timing of training components
• Measurement of competency, such as less reliance on length of time in a competency or more use of simulators
“The value of this is that residencies have the opportunity to develop innovations in teaching family medicine that will change the future of residency training,” said Larry Green, MD, cochair of the P4 steering committee and a member of the American Board of Family Medicine Board of Directors. “And they’ll have the opportunity to develop those changes without the traditional restrictions” set out by the residency review committee that oversees family medicine training.
Innovative ideas will take shape under the oversight of TransforMED, the Academy’s practice redesign initiative that recently launched.

STFM FFM Priorities Projects Tap Into Member Talents
The STFM Task Force on the Future of Family Medicine (FFM), chaired by John Rogers, MD, MPH, MEd, has been busy since the STFM Annual Spring Conference. The Competency-based Curriculum group (CBC), led by Jeff Susman, MD, has combined with the Preceptor Education Project group (PEP) led by Caryl Heaton, DO. This group is now working on the priority called Competency-based Curricula for the New Model of Family Medicine (students, residents, and faculty/preceptors).
We’ve identified group leaders for the initial six core components of the curriculum, which are listed below. The following individuals have been charged with collaborating with STFM members with interest and expertise in each content area. These groups are also identifying competencies expected of a medical learner, collecting existing curricula and instructional methods, and uploading these materials to a development site on the Family Medicine Digital Resources Library (FMDRL).
Chronic Care Model—Curt Stein, MD, and Kent Sheets, PhD
Electronic Health Record—John Bachman, MD, and John Delzell, MD
Advanced Access—George Valko, MD
Group Visits—Julie Schirmer, MSW
Evidence-based Medicine—Karl Miller, MD, and Jennifer Hoock, MD
Performance Improvement—Bill Shore, MD, and Peter Carek, MD
This fall, each group will work independently via e-mail, conference calls, and meetings at STFM functions. We’re shooting for having units of instruction completed by January 2007 and faculty development and preceptor education support materials developed by March 2007. Draft products will be available for review at the 2007 STFM annual meeting to be held in Chicago.
The Pre-Medical School Recruitment group, chaired by Janice Benson, MD, will be launching a “Future Family Docs” campaign in January 2007. A core coordinating group, consisting of Terry Steyer, MD; Charles Mouton, MD, Kelley Withy, MD; Teresa Kulie, MD; Carmen Whiting, MD; and Deanna Willis, MD, MBA, is soliciting stories about successful recruitment and mentoring activitiesand developing an inventory of resource materials to be featured on a Future of Family Doc Web site this winter. Look for updates on these recruitment activities at our 2007 STFM conferences.
The Workforce Preparedness group, chaired by Dr Rogers, is developing an international medical graduate (IMG) training program to enhance the knowledge of IMGs entering residency programs in the principles of family medicine, essentials of graduate medical education in the United States, the components of the US health care system, issues for dealing with diverse patient populations, and interpersonal and communication skills in residency training. The program is intended to prepare participants to enter a family medicine residency program.
This group will initiate four projects, chaired by colleagues listed below.
Program Director Survey Work Group—Jane Corboy, MD
International Medical Graduate Survey Work Group—Deb Seymour, PsyD
Annotation Guide Work Group—Kathy Zoppi, PhD, MPH
Funding Exploration Work Group—Jim Tysinger, PhD; John Rogers, MD, MPH, MEd; Bill Mygdal, EdD
Other members of this workforce preparedness team, Sandra Burge, PhD; Kathy Cole-Kelly, MS, MSW; Alison Dobbie, MD; Ashok Kumar, MD; Indu Kuncharapu, MD; and Robert Like, MD, MS, are overseeing these activities and will assist in creating an inventory of successful communication and cultural competency curricula and an annotated bibliography of these tools for posting on FMDRL.
STFM members interested in joining any of these work groups are encouraged to contact the work group leaders or Dr Rogers, jrogers@bcm.edu.

NEW COLUMN—Faculty Development Ideas
The STFM Messenger’s masthead reads “Promoting professional development for family medicine educators.” One of STFM’s strategic goals is titled “faculty development.” STFM’s Group on Faculty Development is explicitly focused on the “ongoing development of well-prepared faculty in academic and community-based family medicine…” Why a focus on faculty development?
Two Words: CHANGE and LEARNING
As a community of educators, we constantly strive for excellence in our educational programs, to improve as teachers, and to lead evidence-based innovation centered around the core values of improving health through education. This requires that we continuously learn.
What were the competencies you needed as a leader, investigator, and/or educator when you entered family medicine? Consider a competency that cuts across all those domains: technology. When I started my first faculty appointment, I was on the cutting edge with my Apple IIE. Since then the technology competencies I have needed to learn, just in my educator role, have exploded: from e-mail and PowerPoint to PDAs and I-Pods and even online submission for STFM!
This column of the STFM Messenger, brought to you by the STFM Group on Faculty Development, is intended to give you ideas about what and how to learn the competencies you need to achieve excellence. As no single faculty development approach can match all learners’ needs, we will use an array of strategies and formats from invited and unsolicited submissions in the following areas:
On Your Bookshelf/On Your “Favorites” Bookmark List
What are the best/newest books, articles, Web sites, and other online resources that you recommend to colleagues for faculty development, academic career development, teachers, and leaders? A 400-word (or less) summary of the book (article, Web site), why this is an important reference for family medicine, and two to three examples of how you have applied the concepts from the book/article/site in your daily work.
Endurable Products for Faculty Development
As the opportunities to obtain peer-reviewed materials for faculty development is exploding, it’s important to highlight those instructional materials, guidebooks, PowerPoint presentations, and other faculty development resources that are of particular value to STFM members. We will regularly report on new endurable products in FMDRL, HEAL, AAMC-MedEdPORTAL, POGO-E, and other peer-reviewed repositories.
Perspectives and Approaches to Faculty Development
Title VII provided critical resources for designing, implementing, and evaluating our faculty development efforts. To ensure that the best practices from these programs are shared and that we maintain a historical record regarding these long-running programs, Group on Faculty Development members will provide a cogent overview of their programs, including number of graduates, focal areas, delivery strategies, and three lessons learned about leading faculty development programs.
On—perhaps over—the Edge
Medical Education (the highest-impact journal in the field) periodically publishes short (<500 word) descriptions of “really good stuff” in education. These articles allow educators to communicate quickly about new approaches, strategies, and topics so that we may learn from those “on the edge.” Adopting this idea, our descriptions will focus on stuff that is “on—perhaps over—the edge” to keep us abreast of new trends and initiatives in the field of faculty development.
Time to learn!
Test your leadership, teaching, and technology competencies now! How?
If you have a submission that fits with the focus of the Faculty Development Ideas column and can teach us something in 400 words or less, send it to dsimpson@mcw.edu along with your name and contact information. On behalf of the Group on Faculty Development, I would like to thank Brenda Manning, PhD, for her leadership as our past cochair and editor of this feature and compliment her delegation skills as I assume the editor role.
