Time and Quality Challenges

AIM	Primary Drivers to be Addressed	Secondary Drivers
Decrease the percentage of allopathic family medicine clerkship directors who report difficulty finding clinical preceptor sites from 47% to 35% by 2020	Not enough time to precept	Time required for teaching; it’s estimated that having a student adds 30 minutes to a typical workday Additional time requirements have been placed on physicians due to EMRs and increasing administrative tasks Teaching has become more formal, bureaucratic, and complicated because of the demands of accrediting bodies and the organizations that employ physicians
Increase the percentage of students completing clerkships at high-functioning sites	Work involved in true primary care transformation	Practices don’t feel like they can take on students in the midst of transformation Students are completing clerkships at sites that are not offering comprehensive family medicine, are not patient centered, and/or have less-than-ideal family physician role models.
