College of Family Physicians of Canada accreditation policies contemplate exemplary ratings for postgraduate family medicine programs that train residents in sites aligned with the Patient's Medical Home (PMH) vision. This may overrepresent the PMH in training relative to what is available in independent practice.
We appraised training sites to describe the degree to which PMH features are present in family medicine education across the country.
More than half (70.7%) of Canadian training sites reflect PMH features.
Education policy that incentivizes PMH in training may create downstream tension for physicians who find these practices unavailable upon graduation.
加拿大家庭医生学院的认证政策设想对以符合患者医疗之家(PMH)愿景的站点培训住院医生的研究生家庭医学项目给予卓越评级。这可能会使 PMH 在培训中的代表性过高,而相对于独立实践中可用的情况则过高。
我们评估了培训地点,以描述全国范围内家庭医学教育中 PMH 特征的存在程度。
超过一半(70.7%)的加拿大培训地点反映了 PMH 特征。
激励培训中 PMH 的教育政策可能会给毕业后发现这些实践不可用的医生带来下游压力。
