We are trying to develop an innovative program built in a “resident centred” way while also incorporating the latest competency based “Triple C” curriculum theories and the nine Queen’s Family Medicine Domains of Clinical Care (DOCCs).
We will emphasize direct observation with the goal of daily field notes and please remember, while we are offering a new program, many of our preceptors are already experienced teachers.
As an FYI, Queen's Family Medicine divides the calendar into 13 four week blocks of time per year.
Here is what we have planned for...
PALLIATIVE CARE
- many of our FM preceptors provide Palliative Care service in community
- some of those preceptors are highly regarded teachers in Palliative Care
- other practices would be referring to those FM preceptors to try to provide resident continuity
- maximizing length of time in FM practices (half time / week for 9 blocks / year) gives more chance to follow palliative cases longitudinally
Here is the link to the Palliative Care Brainstorming Spreadsheet where you can leave some thoughts for the development of this section of the curriculum.
