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.”
