Precepting Faculty
Providing residents with a sound academic and clinical education is carefully planned and balanced with concerns for patient safety and resident well-being.

Program requirements for graduate medical education in Family Medicine include the following:

All patient care must be supervised by qualified faculty. Residents are provided with rapid, reliable systems for communicating with supervising faculty. Faculty schedules are structured to provide residents with continuous supervision and consultation.

Whenever residents are performing clinical duties in the Center for Family Medicine, there is an appropriate number of family physician faculty who, without other obligations are engaged in active teaching and supervision of the residents. In general, there should be at least one supervising family physician faculty member who is freed of all other activities for every 4 residents working in the clinic at any given time.

In addition to the Program Director, there must be at least one full-time equivalent (FTE) family physician faculty for each 6 residents in the program.

The faculty is comprised of teachers with the diversified interests and expertise necessary to meet the various training responsibilities of the program.

The physician faculty are certified in the specialty by the American Board of Family Medicine, or possess qualifications judged to be acceptable the Residency Review Committee (RRC) for Family Practice.

All Medicare patient encounters need to be precepted by a Center for Family Medicine faculty member. A faculty member must see and examine Medicare patients that are scheduled in clinic for PGY1 residents during the first 6 months of the PGY1 training. All Medicare patients provided Level IV or V care must be seen and examined by a precepting Faculty. Also a Faculty person must be physically present and actively participate for all procedures on Medicare patients. The precepting Faculty must write a brief note in the patient chart for all Medicare visits.
