Teaching disease management care: a senior resident seminar and team project model.
To address the six general competencies outlined by the Accreditation Councilfor Graduate Medical Education, family practice residency programs will need to enhance their future curriculum. This paper describes one approach to teaching three of these core competencies (practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, and systems-based practice), while enhancing the quality of patient care within the model family practice center Resident involvement in and feedback on this pilot curriculum was positive, and the residents were confident in the skills they developed.
