Family Medicine Residency

Background and Objectives: As the opioid crisis worsens across the United States, the factors that impact physician training in management of substance use disorders become more relevant. A thorough understanding of these factors is necessary for family medicine residency programs to inform their own residency curricula. The objective of our study was to identify factors that correlate with increased residency training in addiction medicine across a broad sample of family medicine residencies. Methods: We performed secondary analysis of a national family medicine residency program director survey conducted in 2015-2016 (CERA Survey PD-8). We obtained data from the Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) Data Clearinghouse. We analyzed residency clinic site designation as a patient-centered medical home (PCMH), federally-qualified health center (FQHC), or both, for their correlation with faculty member possession of DEA-X buprenorphine waiver license, as well as required residency curriculum in addiction medicine. Results: Residency programs situated in an FQHC were more likely to have faculty members who possessed DEA-X buprenorphine waiver licenses (P=.025). Residency clinics that were both a PCMH as well as an FQHC also correlated strongly (P=.001). Furthermore, residencies with faculty who possessed a DEA-X license were significantly more likely to have a required curriculum in addiction medicine (P=.002). Conclusions: Our quantitative secondary analysis of CERA survey data of family medicine residency program directors revealed that resident training in addiction medicine is strongly correlated with both residency clinic setting (FQHC or FQHC/PCMH) as well as residency faculty possession of DEA-X licenses.

Abstract Purpose To examine the opinions of family medicine residency program directors concerning the potential impact of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) resident duty hour recommendations on patient care and resident education. Methods A survey was mailed to 455 family medicine residency program directors. Data were summarized and analyzed using Epi Info statistical software. Significance was set at the P < .01 level. Results A total of 265 surveys were completed (60.9% response rate). A majority of family medicine residency program directors disagreed or strongly disagreed that the recent IOM duty hour recommendations will, in general, result in improved patient safety and resident education. Further, a majority of respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed that the proposed IOM rules would result in residents becoming more compassionate, more effective family physicians. Conclusion A majority of family medicine residency program directors believe that the proposed IOM duty hour recommendations would have a primarily detrimental effect on both patient care and resident education.

Background: Prior to implementing Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) training into our Family Medicine Residency Program, we sought to determine opinions on the most relevant applications according to current Family Medicine residents and recent graduates. As there are so many POCUS applications relevant to Family Medicine, it would be efficient to teach only the most relevant scans. Objective: Examine current POCUS use and the perception of future use among current residents and recent graduates of a Family Medicine Residency Program. Methods: In 2017, an electronic survey was used to examine differences in perceptions regarding the value of POCUS applications, benefits of use, and potential barriers to implementation. Results: Of the 88 surveys sent, 21 of 21 current residents (100%) and 28 of 67 recent graduates (41.8%) completed the survey with a total completion rate of 55.7%. The POCUS practices differed between groups. Current residents were significantly more likely than recent graduates to use POCUS for vascular procedural guidance and other procedural guidance. Recent graduates were significantly more likely to report POCUS use for abdominal aortic aneurysm screening and lower extremity Doppler screening for deep vein thrombosis. All P values were significant at the .05 level. Conclusions: Point-of-Care Ultrasound training is generally desired by current residents. Some applications are perceived to be of sufficient utility by current residents and recent graduates. Findings would justify investment of time and effort required to implement POCUS training in Family Medicine Residency curriculums. Curriculum should focus on applications viewed as high priority based on usage rates.
