The creation of these guidelines is intended for the use of family medicine residency programs, universities, health care systems, accrediting bodies, and sponsoring institutions. They are intended to guide decision making about protected non-clinical time for program directors, associate program directors and core faculty within family medicine residency programs to ensure best practices in educating and training future family medicine physicians.
I feel like we need more here about how different audiences will use these, including how faculty can use these to advocate for protected time. -- MT
ReplyDeleteAgree with the above. Whether this is located here or in the development/purpose area, I am fine with either. This is a nice succinct statement though. As far as how it would be used, what do you all think?
ReplyDelete1. Residency programs - Determining optimal number of faculty, appropriate scheduling, ensuring the administrative duties of the program are accomplished to maintain accreditation.
2. Health care systems - Understanding best practices for provision of nonclinical time and its purpose.
3. Accrediting bodies - for consideration during the creation of accreditation requirements
4. Sponsoring institutions - ?
