Length of Clinical Training Pilot Study
DFM physicians co-author an article on clinical training length.
Liz | Department of Family Medicine, CU Anschutz Apr 12, 2024
Colleen Conry, MD; Perry Dickinson, MD; Alan Douglass, MD, are
co-authors on the recently published “Postresidency Practice Setting
and Clinical Care Features According to 3 Versus 4 Years of Training in Family
Medicine: A Length of Training Pilot Study” on the Society of Teachers of
Family Medicine journal website. Colleen said of the publication, “This is the
latest publication of the Length of Training Pilot project looking at
differences between three and four years of Family Medicine training. This
paper found that training length did not affect practice setting or practice
features for graduates of the pilot. The pilot has now evolved into the FM AIRE
program which the DFM FM residency is applying for.”
