A Descriptive Bibliometric Study Of Cera Publication Dissemination, Authorship, And Citation Rates., Bryce A Ringwald, Jennifer L Middleton

Medical Education Articles

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Barriers to performing family medicine research include funding, infrastructure, and mentorship shortages. The Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) was created in 2011 to address these issues. This study explores the scope and impact of CERA-related publications in family medicine.

METHODS: We performed a descriptive bibliometric study of CERA-related publications from 2011 to 2023. Articles were sourced from Medline (PubMed), SCOPUS, and the CERA website. Data analysis focused on publication type, authors, CERA survey type, and citation rates.

RESULTS: From a total of 231 articles retrieved via initial searches and 166 from the CERA …

Evolution Of The Family Medicine Clerkship: A Cera Secondary Analysis., Bryce A Ringwald, David Banas, Allison Macerollo, Ericka Bruce, Matthew Farrell

Medical Education Articles

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The family medicine clerkship has been found to influence medical students' decision-making regarding specialty choice. Understanding how the family medicine clerkship has changed over the past decade may assist in recruitment efforts. Our study explored trends in family medicine clerkship design, length, and format and correlated these characteristics with high proportions of medical school graduates choosing family medicine.

METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of the Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance annual family medicine clerkship director surveys from 2012 to 2023. We analyzed standard family medicine clerkship structure questions that were asked in each …

Broadening Inclusion Of Primary Care: Trainee Insights And Commentary On Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion., K Taylor Bosworth, Meghan Gilfoyle, Kimberley Norman, Kimberley Norman, Ashley Chisholm, Ione Locher, Naod F Belay, Bryce Ringwald, Chloe Warpinski, Geetika Gupta, Minika Ohioma, Macee Boyle

Medical Education Articles

We, as the current and immediate-past NAPCRG Trainee Committee, share our perspectives as an international and diverse group of primary care research trainees. In this essay, we discuss the challenges and opportunities for achieving a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive primary care workforce by reflecting on 2 main challenges: (1) insufficient support for underrepresented identities in medicine, and (2) inadequate integration within existing primary care teams. Within each of these challenges, we pose potential opportunities for improvement using a trainee lens.

OBJECTIVE: Despite growing evidence of distinct nutrition-related experiences and disparities, transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth and young adults are an underrepresented population in nutrition research. This paper describes the methods and study design from Project Gender NutriScope, a study that will explore the nutritional needs of TGD youth and young adults.

DESIGN: Parallel convergent cross-sectional mixed methods; community-engaged.

SETTING: A purposive sample will be recruited in a Midwest city through clinics, youth organizations, and a large state university.

PARTICIPANTS: Transgender and gender-diverse youth and young adults aged 13-24 years.

INTERVENTION: Findings from this formative study will be used to inform …

Starting The Conversation: Patient Perceptions Of Self-Assessed Type-2 Diabetes Risk., Bennett Collis, Huda Kutmah, Peyton Couch, Neelima J Kale, Karen L Roper

Ambulatory and Primary Care Articles

INTRODUCTION: Little is known about patients' perceptions of their risk for type-2 diabetes (T2D), or if knowledge of risk could facilitate weight and diabetes prevention discussions with health care professionals.

METHODS: In our academic family medicine practice, 25 patients completed a previsit T2D risk assessment on their phone and answered interview and survey questions to assess their understanding of their risk for developing T2D.

RESULTS: Interest in their T2D risk was high, but self-estimation of risk before obtaining their score was low (21/25 reported ≤30% chance of developing diabetes). All patients perceived T2D to be very serious, most remembered their …

Administrative Time Expectations For Residency Core Faculty: A Cera Study., Bryce A Ringwald, Stephen Auciello, Joseph Ginty, Melissa Jefferis, Stephen Stacey

Medical Education Articles

BACKGROUND: Academic family medicine (FM) physicians aim to balance competing needs of providing clinical care with nonclinical duties of program administration, formal education, and scholarly activity. FM residency is unique in its scope of practice, clinical settings, and training priorities, which may differ between university-based and community-based programs. In both types of programs, these competing needs are a source of faculty dissatisfaction and burnout. We performed this study to explore the allocation of nonclinical administrative full-time equivalents (FTE) for FM residency core faculty members.

RESULTS: Reported nonclinical administrative FTE time allocation is equivalent between university/medical school-based and community-based programs. The …

Family Medicine Resident Scholarly Activity Infrastructure, Output, And Dissemination: A Cera Survey., Bryce A Ringwald, Michelle Taylor, Dean A Seehusen, Jennifer L Middleton

Medical Education Articles

PURPOSE: Meeting scholarly activity requirements continues to be a challenge in many family medicine (FM) residency programs. Studies comprehensively describing FM resident scholarship have been limited. We sought to identify institutional factors associated with increased scholarly output and meeting requirements of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

OBJECTIVES: Our goals were to: (1) describe scholarly activity experiences among FM residents compared with ACGME requirements; (2) classify experiences by Boyer's domains of scholarship; and (3) associate experiences with residency program characteristics and scholarly activity infrastructure.

METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey. The survey questions were part of an omnibus …

In-Situ Simulation In Interdisciplinary Family Practice Improves Response To In-Office Emergencies., Brad D Gable, Laurie Hommema

Ambulatory and Primary Care Articles

Background Medical emergencies can present to family medicine offices. For optimal patient outcomes, multiple team members must come together to provide emergency care and mobilize the appropriate resources. In-situ simulation has been used to improve provider knowledge, skills, and attitudes as well as identify latent safety threats. The aim of this training was to provide family medicine physicians, nurses, and office staff education about how to manage in-office emergencies. Specifically, we sought to clarify team members' roles, improve communication, and identify latent safety threats. Methodology Two different in-situ simulations were performed with debriefing sessions. The first was a pediatric patient …
