“…Although country-specific approaches to marketing family medicine and primary care in general, as suggested by Naimer et al are well-supported by the data, the Four Pillars for Primary Care Physician Workforce Reform may be a useful working model for countries seeking to build a strong primary care workforce. For more ideas on what can be done locally, we refer readers to “Putting the Four Pillars for Primary Care Physician Workforce Into Practice Locally” [ 11 ].…”

“…With this context, the academic family medicine organizations in the US developed the “Four Pillars for Primary Care Physician Workforce,” [ 9 – 11 ] a model that draws on many years of research and highlights the main areas where improvement and innovation may impact the number of primary care physicians in the workforce, and consequently, the health of the public. These Pillars include: 1) pipeline (identifying, recruiting, and retaining students into primary care throughout the continuum of training); 2) process of medical education (excellence in training physicians who practice evidence-based, compassionate, and comprehensive care); practice transformation (exposure to “primary care practices of the future” that deliver evidence-based and patient-centered care); and 4) payment reform (appropriate reimbursement for practice and education).…”

Primary care is a crucial part of a functional health care system, though in many parts of the world there are current or projected gaps in the primary care physician workforce. The academic family medicine organizations in the United States (US) developed the “Four Pillars for Primary Care Physician Workforce,” a model built on decades of research, highlighting four main areas of emphasis for increasing primary care physician output: 1) pipeline; 2) process of medical education; 3) practice transformation; and 4) payment reform. This commentary proposes that this model, although developed in the US context, is applicable in other medical education settings, including Israel, based on the recently reported findings of Weissman and colleagues in this journal.

“…This ignored an earlier WHO resolution that had stressed the importance of primary care nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, and family physicians, with the need of professional training and retention in their positions in communities around the world. 6 This stresses the importance of continued advocacy for high-quality primary care and the disciplines and competencies required of its teams to deliver it. A central lesson from Astana is that declarations and resolutions are only able to guide policy when their content is consistently shared between all stakeholders.…”

90provide foundational training for residency faculty. Courses cover the structure and requirements of residency education; how to be an effective and efficient faculty member; the nuts and bolts of curriculum development and teaching; and strategies for assessment, feedback, and remediation of residents.Conducted the first meeting of the Precepting Expansion Oversight Committee. This multidisciplinary, interprofessional committee is overseeing the implementation of an action plan to decrease the percentage of primary care clerkship directors who report difficulty finding clinical preceptor sites and increase the percentage of students completing clerkships at high-functioning sites. Five tactic teams began meeting in 2017 and are now implementing strategies to ensure medical, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant students receive hands-on opportunities with patients in real-world settings.Updated the Leading Change online course. The content is now delivered in shorter segments and the course includes interactivity, learning activities, and quizzes to promote understanding and retention.Implemented new submission systems for the Family Medicine Residency Curriculum Resource and the STFM National Clerkship Curriculum. Submissions are now made through the same system STFM uses for its journals, which allows for better tracking of submissions and communication with authors.Implemented digital badging on member profiles in STFM CONNECT. A digital badge is an online recognition of accomplishments, mastery of a skill, or completion of a learning experience. The goal of the badging is to recognize members, showcase their accomplishments and STFM involvement, and encourage participation in STFM programs and leadership activities.The celebration and innovation of 2017 built momentum for the many products and activities planned for 2018: a Medical School Faculty Fundamentals Certificate Program, an enhanced online presence for Family Medicine, a revamped, mobile-friendly website, a new conference submission and review system, and ongoing work to address the shortage of community preceptors.
