    Community hospital graduate medical education programs improved by forming a pediatric residency consortium. This affiliation overcame traditional deficiencies, offering a balanced education and avoiding duplication, though it presented scheduling challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Pediatric Residency Programs
    • Healthcare Administration

    Background:

    • Community hospital graduate medical education programs often exhibit deficiencies compared to university programs.
    • Common issues include smaller program size, higher percentages of foreign-trained residents, unfilled positions, and poorer board examination performance.
    • Challenges exist in providing a balanced and broad educational experience.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an affiliated pediatric residency consortium in addressing deficiencies of community hospital programs.
    • To determine if a collaborative model can improve educational quality and efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Four separate pediatric residency programs in Phoenix affiliated in 1972 to form a consortium.

  • The program's structure and outcomes were assessed post-affiliation.

    • Main Results:

    • The affiliated program successfully overcame traditional deficiencies, becoming popular and well-balanced.
    • Wasteful duplication of resources was avoided.
    • Disadvantages included complex scheduling and reduced close contact with residents, impacting continuity of care.

    Conclusions:

    • Consortium models can effectively address deficiencies in community hospital graduate medical education.
    • This approach offers a viable solution for improving pediatric residency training and resource allocation.
    • Experiences suggest broader applicability for local consortiums in medical education.
