Working on the electronic health record (EHR) after usual clinic hours (pajama time) is associated with burnout and decreased professional satisfaction in attending physicians. This study examines the association between resident pajama time and burnout, professional satisfaction, and medical knowledge among family medicine (FM) residents.
Given the recent expansion of US family medicine residency programs, we updated data on the link between training location and practice location and explored its relationship with primary care capacity. We found that most family physicians practice near their residency training programs, and many high-retention states have low primary care physician capacity.
Some graduate medical education programs focus on the preparation of physicians for rural primary care practice. More exploration is needed to understand what is taught and how medical educators prepare resident and fellow physicians for rural practice. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the primary dimensions of the concept of graduate medical education competencies for rural practice settings and describe the related evidence and gaps in the literature.
