- Book Synopsis
- This book outlines the basic structure and processes of family medicine residency education programs. Family medicine residency programs are complex adaptive learning organizations that involve people, processes, procedures, buildings, budgets, high stakes, mistakes, mission statements, strategies, schedules, curricula, faculty, and residents. Residency program faculty are faced with many challenges, and this book gives them and others who are interested or involved in residency programs a clear and comprehensive breakdown of family medicine graduate medical education. The volume opens with detailed overviews of several family medicine organizations that support residency programs and faculty. Subsequent chapters cover a range of topics, including best practices in resident assessment and evaluation and best practices pertinent to the development of teaching and administrative skills for faculty. Furthermore, chapters explain necessary residency education accreditation requirements, which includes the understanding of the accreditation requirements, board certification requirements, Medicare graduate medical education funding policies, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMMS) billing regulations. All authors have been family medicine residency program directors or faculty or have been intimately involved in residency program education. Graduate Medical Education in Family Medicine offers residency program directors, faculty, and residency administrators a wide-ranging and comprehensive overview of family medicine residency education as well as specific administrative and educational best practices for residency education. This book will also be useful to those physicians with experience in their clinical field, but not in educational pedagogy and andragogy.
