Scholarly Pairings for Academic and Research Collaboration: Getting the Most Out of the Academic Environment
Conducting research from within departments of family medicine is getting trickier by the year. This is true regardless of the type of research, and it applies to evaluations of medical education programs as much as any other form of research. Keeping medical programs funded, however, often requires the generation and analysis of data to demonstrate effectiveness, track impact, and identify areas for improvement.
In this month's Education Column, Christopher Morley, PhD, describes a program that initiated in the Department of Family Medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University designed to match graduate students from the region with relevant research interests and skills with various endeavors within the department. The program has significantly enhanced the department's capacity to design and evaluate its own educational programs and projects since its inception in 2008.

Family Medicine Is Seeking Papers on Primary Care Residency Redesign
Have you been involved in a Primary Care Residency Education Redesign and have data to share about both process and outcomes? This theme issue of the
Family Medicine journal will focus on changes in the length, structure, or content of residency training that better prepare personal physicians and other primary care professionals to better meet the nation’s health care needs.
Family Medicine encourages submission of original articles that involve collaboration among more than one residency program and illustrate how residency innovations can lead to improved health care delivery. Brief reports describing innovative projects in a single residency will also be considered. Innovations covering broad areas of training rather than a single content area are preferred. Papers that address redesign in family medicine, general pediatrics, and general internal medicine are welcome. Share your redesign efforts in primary care residency education with the discipline.
Learn more about submitting your article to Family Medicine today.
