Mike Tuggy, MD, has been envisioning this for years: a shared, online repository of high-quality residency curriculum created by residency programs. “We’ve got more than 450 family medicine residency programs each creating curricula for more than 400 core clinical topics. If we collaborate, we can save hundreds of hours a year and also improve the quality of our teaching.”

Dr Tuggy’s vision is taking shape in the just-released Family Medicine Residency Curriculum Resource available at http://www.fammedrcr.org. The resource currently includes a core topic list for postgraduate year one (PGY-1) with recommended readings. Recommended readings include evidence-based articles and clinical practice guidelines. “Programs can use what’s on the site now to identify what should be taught during the first year of residency and quickly access the latest evidenced-based review article,” said Dr Tuggy. Access to this information is available at no charge to STFM and AFMRD members.

The Family Medicine Residency Curriculum Resource is a multiyear collaborative project of The Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD) and Society of Teachers to build an online resource of peer-reviewed, competency-based curriculum content organized by post-graduate year (PGY). When the site is complete, it will house peer-reviewed, competency-based curricular resources covering the core content of family medicine education. Subscribers will be able to download case-based presentations, quizzes, and facilitators’ guides for each core topic.

The site is being developed in phases:

  • October 2012: Call for Proposals for PGY-1 Curriculum

  • April 2013: Launch PGY-1 topic list and recommended readings

  • December 2013: Launch PGY-2 and PGY-3 topic list and recommended readings

  • April 2015: Launch subscriber-only curricular resource

The editorial team includes Dr Tuggy as senior editor and Julia Fashner; Karen Hall, MD; Melissa Stiles, MD; Tochi Iroku-Malize, MD, MPH; Doug Maurer, DO, MPH; and Jenifer Van Deusen, MEd as associate editors.

Dr Tuggy pointed out that the resource can only be successful through collaboration. “STFM and AFMRD have funded the architecture and development of the site. We now need each residency program to step up and submit curriculum for at least one topic.”

Visit http://fammedrcr.org/call-for-proposals for a proposal application and a list of available topics.
