Primary Care Track Toolkit

Introducing the Fourth Edition of the Primary Care Track Toolkit

AAIM is pleased to share the fourth edition of the Primary Care Toolkit! Whether you are thinking of starting a primary care track or already are involved in a primary care residency program, this toolkit created by members of the APDIM Primary Care Forum offers resources to improve your program. The aim of this toolkit is to reduce your workload and let you learn from colleagues across the nation about what did (and didn’t) work at their institutions.

The toolkit is broken up into two sections.

• For those who are curious to learn more about primary care tracks or are looking to start one, Section 1 offers an introduction on how a primary care track differs from a categorical track and a nuts-and-bolts guide to starting a primary care track at your institution.
• Section 2 offers interesting curricula, program innovations, and creative scheduling ideas for primary care tracks.

The fourth edition of the Primary Care Toolkit includes many new chapters including Health Policy and Practice Management Curriculum, Partnering with Federally Qualified Health Centers to Deliver a Longitudinal Community-Based Outreach Experience for Primary Care Residents, Intervisit Care, Resident as Ambulatory Preceptor, Pre-Operative Curriculum Toolkit, Menopause Curriculum, and more.
