8 Objectives To assess existing approaches to group medical visit training for family medicine residents. To assess Family Medicine residents’ exposure to group medical visits. To assess perceived challenges to the use of group medical visits in residency training To explore the association between program director attitudes and availability of group medical visits at residency sites.

9 Objectives To determine the association between program characteristics, including exposure to group health education or CenteringPregnancy™, and availability of group medical visits at residency sites. To determine, for programs without group medical visits at program site, the association between program characteristics, including exposure to group health education or CenteringPregnancy™, and degree of planning for group medical visits at program sites.

10 Hypotheses The majority of programs have not established group medical visits in their residency clinics; as such they are unable to incorporate this training into their curriculum Most programs with access to group medical visits involve or plan to involve residents as part of their training. Residencies with positive program director attitudes toward group medical visits are more likely than those without to have group medical visits at program site. Programs with exposure to the CenteringPregnancy™ or group health education are more likely than those without exposure to CenteringPregnancy™ or group health education to have group medical visits at program site. Among programs without group medical visits, programs with exposure to CenteringPregnancy™ or group health education are more likely than those without exposure to CenteringPregnancy™ or group health education to be planning or developing group medical visits at program site.

11 Survey Questions Exposure to Group Medical Visit Exposure to Group Health Education Plans for GMV (if not already) Familiarity with CenteringPregnancy™ Existing Curriculum re: Group Medical Visit Attitudes toward Group Medical Visit Challenges to implementing Group Medical Visits

12 Next Steps Baseline for tracking prevalence of GMV Informed discussion re: Needs Assessment Develop strategies to meet program needs Opportunity for more research Develop strategic partnerships Collaborate with primary care colleagues?
