FACULTY / RESIDENT LINKAGE IN THE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER

 

The primary goal of the faculty/resident linkage curriculum (“linkage”) is to improve outpatient education for PGY2 and PGY3 residents. The concepts are essentially the same as those of PGY1 resident outpatient supervision and should be viewed as a continuation of this process. The basic elements include clinical consultation, direct observation, chart review, and practice management.

 

Linkage will also improve the continuity of patient management. Linkage faculty members will become familiar with resident practices and offer consistent clinical oversight. Residents are encouraged to consult with their linkage preceptors on all complex patient care issues.

 

Linkage preceptors will be scheduled for attend during the same clinic session each week. Each preceptor will be assigned a group of residents to supervise. Residents will be scheduled in clinical fort the same session each week, as their schedules allow. Linkage residents will consult exclusively with the linkage preceptor during these linkage sessions. The linkage preceptor may consult with other residents, but the consultation with the linkage residents should have first priority. Whenever possible, the linkage preceptor will not be 'doctor of the day.'

 

GOALS

 

Goals of the linkage curriculum include:

 

§ Continuity of patient management: residents are encouraged to schedule complex patients during their linkage clinics. Preceptors will make themselves available to consult on cases outside the scheduled linkage sessions.

 

§ Direct observation: Linkage residents will have access to the observation rooms on the Red and Gold Teams. Preceptors are expected to observe resident clinical sessions at least three times per year. Feedback on sessions will cover patient care and practice management. A review form will be completed for each observation session and a copy given to the resident and to the residency director.

 

§ Chart review: Linkage preceptors are expected to review resident notes. A minimum of one follow-up, and all new patient charts should be reviewed after each session. Residents should leave the yellow copies of notes for review in the preceptor's mailbox. A chart review feedback form should be completed for each note or chart. Comprehensive chart review will also occur during period review session.

 

§ Review sessions: There will be two to four review session scheduled each year. Resident clinics will be limited to allow time to meet with linkage preceptors. Medical records may be ordered for comprehensive review during these sessions. It is not anticipated that review sessions for residents will occur as a group due to the complexities of the clinic schedule.
