Summary
The Family Medicine Curricular Resource Project (FMCRP) adopted the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competencies. This framework ensures educational continuity between medical school and residency for future physicians.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Curriculum Development
- Family Medicine
Background:
- The Family Medicine Curricular Resource Project (FMCRP) was tasked by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to develop an analytical framework.
- This involved reviewing medical education reform proposals and existing curricula.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify educational needs for physicians in the 21st century.
- To develop an analytical framework for the FMCRP.
Main Methods:
- Review and analysis of curricular reform proposals from the late 20th century.
- Group discussions with stakeholders including learners, faculty, and national medical/osteopathic college associations.
- Identification of educational needs for 21st-century physicians.
Main Results:
- A theoretical framework was selected for the undergraduate medical education resource.
- This framework aligns with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competencies.
Conclusions:
- Utilizing ACGME competencies provides a continuum between medical school and residency.
- This approach addresses the need for change and accountability in medical education.

It is convenient to consider the body's structures in terms of fundamental levels of organization that increase in complexity: subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.
To study the chemical level of organization, scientists consider the simplest building blocks of matter: subatomic particles, atoms, and molecules. All matter in the universe is composed of one or more unique pure substances called elements, familiar examples of...
