title: Family medicine clerkship curriculum: competencies and resources.
abstract: Funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) from 2000-2005, the Family Medicine Curriculum Resource Project (FMCRP) developed a set of resources to improve medical student education. As part of this project, the FMCRP Clerkship Workgroup created and organized resources for developing, teaching, and evaluating a family medicine clerkship. Using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies as the overarching structure, the organizational scheme incorporated family medicine principles and themes in covering core topics. This curricular resource was designed to be flexible and adaptable to different medical schools and curricular settings.
