  23. IV. Scholarly Activity

  24. Current RRC Requirements for Faculty Scholarship • Must establish and maintain an environment of inquiry and scholarship with an active research component • Must regularly participate in clinical discussions, rounds, journal clubs, and conferences. • Some should also demonstrate scholarship • Peer-reviewed funding, publications, presentations, participation in national committees or organizations • Should encourage and support residents in scholarly activities

  25. What’s new in Proposed Requirements for Faculty • Core family medicine faculty members must participate in faculty development programs designed to enhance the effectiveness of their teaching, administration, leadership, scholarship, clinical and behavioral components of faculty performance

  26. Current RRC Requirements for Resident Scholarship • Curriculum must advance residents’ knowledge of the basic principles of research • Residents must have a supervised experience in scholarly activity (big description follows….) • Forum must be provided for analyzing scientific evidence • Must have guided experience in application of emerging clinical knowledge to own panels

  27. What’s new in Proposed Requirements • Much more direct language: • Curriculum in basics of principles of research • Projects • “Residents should complete two scholarly projects at least one of which should be a quality improvement project.”

  28. Other big change affecting scholarship • Section IV.A on Didactics and Conferences • Gutted! • “The program must provide a regularly scheduled forum for residents to explore and analyze evidence pertinent to the practice of family medicine such as journal club.”

YES • Are residents introduced to the basic principles of study design, performance, analysis and reporting, and the relevance of research to patient care? YES • List the scholarly activities of the residents during the last three years. LIST FPIN Publications • List scholarly investigative projects currently in process by residents and other types of scholarly activities in which resident are engaged. LIST FPIN Publications

  35. V. Implementation

  36. Common Scholarship Program Barriers • Faculty barriers: • Protected time • Shortage of faculty, resources • Leaders don’t have enough experience to mentor • Resident barriers: • Lack of structured expectations, experiences • Enthusiasm towards evidence-based medicine • Shared barriers: • Fear of statistics • Difficulty with evidence synthesis • Procrastination

  37. Scholarship Success Plan • Effectively assess the skills amongst your faculty and residents • Identify faculty development project • Schedule a hands-on group workshop • Mandate faculty complete a project first • Assign a leader/champion to create timetable checklists for accountability • REQUIRE a scholarly project for your residents • Protect time with structured expectations, completion dates

  38. Steps to FPIN • Join FPIN • Set Goals and Create Strategy • Utilize FPIN Institute • Train Faculty • Resident & Student Introduction to FPIN • Consider a Webinar or Onsite Workshop* • Publish & Follow Through • Additional Fee Involved

  39. Webinars • One writing group, max of 4 faculty participants • Ideal for faculty new to FPIN seeking a quick start • Sessions generally span over the period of 8 weeks and require homework, increasing the comprehension of key skills • Participants will receive 1:1 feedback prior to manuscript submission • Optimum “train the trainer” solution for faculty with a desire to co-mentor residents with their scholarly activity projects • Note: there is an additional cost for the webinars.

  40. Why does the FPIN approach work? • Publication projects are built for residents and programs to be successful • Writing projects are ACHIEVABLE for busy residency programs • Time frames are achievable to ensure residents are published while in residency

The P4 Project • MedEdNetis the result of the P4 project • P4 is the 1st comprehensive examination of the structure, length, and content of FMRs since they were defined in the 1960s • P4 project was a 6 year national demonstration of innovations in Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) in FMR training

  44. MedEdNet Graduate Survey Benefits • Follow residents from their 1st year of training into actual clinical practice • Determine and understand the relationships between residency training and post graduate scope of practice • Interactive Web page allows you to compare your program’s results to those in the entire network

  45. Development of FPIN InstituteCourses in Partnership with MedEdNet • Coming in 2014 • Including the following new courses: • Fitting manuscript development into your busy academic year • Essentials of collaborative academic writing • Developing strong educational research grants • Managing educational research projects after you are funded
