  • Plan and present a unit of instruction developed in small-group activities
  • Describe different types of presentation styles that faculty use when teaching
  • Plan, present, and deliver a videotaped mini-lecture

PR2: Developing FFM New Model Practices in Residencies: Learning From Experience
Workshop Planning Committee: John Rogers, MD, cochair; Mike Magill, MD, cochair; Janice Nevin, MD; Robin Winter, MD; Roger Sherwood, CAE; Hope Wittenberg, MA; and Stacy Brungardt, CAE

Presenters: Mike Magill, MD; Stephen Spann, MD; Steve Bogdewic, PhD; Richard Wender, MD; George Valko, MD; Rob Rauner, MD; David Bauer, MD, PhD; Peter Carek, MD; Mike Silver; Edward Shahady, MD; Perry Pugno, MD
; OS Sanyer, MD; Pamela Ledeaux, MD

The Future of Family Medicine (FFM) recommendations proposed a New Model of family medicine. The challenge for educators is how to teach students and residents about this New Model. Didactic presentations about the characteristics and core services of the New Model will be ineffective instructional strategies if there are no New Model practices that students and residents can experience first-hand. How then do residency programs develop New Model practices where experiential learning can occur?

During this preconference session, presenters will describe (1) their efforts to implement four key parts of the New Model (electronic health record, open or advanced access appointment systems, group visits, and quality improvement/patient safety programs), (2) how to advance organizational change, and (3) new AAFP, AFMRD, and STFM initiatives in this area. Participants will learn practical how-to steps and will leave with to-do lists, including strategies for creating and managing organizational change. Participants will also receive proceedings from the conference. This session is part of a coordinated STFM effort that includes presentations at other 2005 STFM national meetings, plans for future conference sessions, and a curriculum for teaching New Model competencies.
Fee: $145

PR3: "Integrating Patient-centered Care and Evidence-based Medicine"
Coordinated by the STFM Group on Physician-Patient Interaction and the STFM Group on Evidence-based Medicine— Kathy Zoppi, PhD, MPH; Brian Alper, MD, MSPH; Jennifer Hoock, MD; Ron Epstein, MD; Fred Tudiver, MD

Patient-centered care (PCC) requires attention to patients’ beliefs and goals. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) requires attention to results of clinical research. Each offers to improve the quality of care. Together, PCC and EBM provide a powerful opportunity to improve patients’ lives. This session will review existing and ongoing efforts to integrate PCC and EBM, provide a hands-on experience with a predoctoral education intervention, and allow collaborative discussion for interested members to develop research agendas. (No additional fee.)

Saturday, April 30
8 am – 5 pm

PR4: “Celebrating Women in Family Medicine”
Coordinated by the STFM Group on Women in Family Medicine Network — Katherine Patterson-Neely, MD; Cherie Glazner, MD, MSPH; Rachel Bramson, MD, MS; Valerie Gilchrist, MD; Marji Gold, MD; Linda Prine, MD

Women physicians encounter struggles with multiple roles and gender bias in academic medicine, in the care our women patients receive, and in our expectations of ourselves. This preconference will explore issues faced by women physicians, residents, and medical students. Work/life balance and women’s health issues will be addressed in presentations and small group work. Participants will look critically at the systems in which they work and develop a plan for coordinated activism to encourage institutional change.
(No additional fee.)
