IMG Residency Prep Web-Based Courses

STFM has produced online self-study courses for incoming residents to help them be better prepared upon arriving for their training.

Courses include:

  • The US Healthcare System
  • Expectations of American Patients
  • Communication With Patients
  • Operations of a Family Medicine Residency Program
  • Succeeding in a US Family Medicine Residency Program

Though the content is really appropriate for any incoming resident, the courses were developed to fulfill an objective to help residents be better prepared when beginning their training.

There is a fixed path through the material in each module, with quizzes interspersed.Learners can “bookmark” their place in the module and return when they’d like.

The modules are SCORM* compliant.Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a collection of standards and specifications for web-based e-learning.

A residency program can purchase the courses for all residents and receive weekly reports on progress as well as scores on each of the quizzes.This will allow programs to manage the learning and set expectations (please score at least 80% on each quiz).

Programs can purchase the course package for $990. Click Here for course descriptions and more details.  If you are a program and would like to purchase the course package or have any questions e-mail Jill Haught at jhaught@stfm.org.
