Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Residency Training
  • Family Medicine

Background:

  • Residency orientation is crucial for introducing duties, clarifying expectations, and social acclimation.
  • Effective orientation prepares residents for the demands of their new roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the primary orientation goals of family practice residency directors.
  • To compare directors' goals with the perceived orientation needs of first-year family practice residents.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to program directors and PGY-1 residents across 100 accredited family practice programs.
  • Questionnaires collected data on orientation programs, resident demographics, director goals, and resident needs.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The top orientation goal for directors was fostering group cohesion.
  • Residents' highest-ranked need was an introduction to call duties and inpatient management.
  • A significant discrepancy was found between directors' stated goals and residents' perceived needs.

Conclusions:

  • A poor association exists between family practice residency directors' orientation goals and residents' reported needs.
  • Directors often emphasize nonclinical aspects, whereas residents prioritize clinically relevant information during orientation.
  • Aligning orientation content with resident needs is essential for effective residency training.
