THE FUTURE OF FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY EDUCATION: THE SPECIALTY HAS SPOKEN

We are now at the end of the beginning of re-envisioning the future of residency education in Family Medicine. On December 6-7, 2020, after almost a year of preparation, representatives of the specialty came together at the fourth Starfield Summit to review the past and present, and to envision the future of Family Medicine residencies. Our goal was to provide input from the discipline to the development of the next version of ACGME Program Requirements for Graduate Medical Education in Family Medicine, expected to be implemented in 2022. We write to summarize the results of this process to date and describe next steps.
