Prescribing patterns in a family medicine residency program.

T L Little, R H Layton

    The Journal of Family Practice
    |June 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Family practice residents prescribed tricyclic antidepressants more often than anxiolytics, differing from national trends. Prescribing habits showed autonomy and expanded with residency experience.

    Area of Science:

    • Family Medicine
    • Pharmacology
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Understanding prescribing patterns in family practice residencies is crucial for effective patient care and training.
    • National prescribing data provides a benchmark for evaluating local practice variations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To concurrently review and analyze prescribing practices within a family practice residency program.
    • To compare local prescribing patterns with national data and conduct internal peer group analyses.

    Main Methods:

    • A clinical pharmacist collected and tabulated prescription data over a six-month period.
    • Prescribing patterns were compared against national data and among residents/faculty within the program.

    Main Results:

    • Tricyclic antidepressants were prescribed more frequently than anxiolytic drugs, diverging from national prescribing reports.
    • Peer group comparisons indicated autonomous prescribing habits among residents and faculty.
    • The range of prescribed drugs and the volume of prescriptions increased with residency progression.

    Conclusions:

    • Family practice residency prescribing patterns may differ significantly from national trends, particularly concerning antidepressant versus anxiolytic use.
    • Prescribing autonomy appears to develop during residency, with a broadening drug repertoire and increased prescription volume over time.
    • These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to align residency prescribing with evidence-based national guidelines.
