1) Based on the provided sources, what are the various types of ACGME-accredited residency and subspecialty programs, and what are their typical lengths and structural variations, including any prerequisite training years?
2) List the residency programs that have the highest percentage of female graduates. For each of these specialties, provide the total number of active residents and the percentage of women within that total. (This question requires the analysis of the table provided in the module)
3) Contemplate the following statement from the readings: “More than half (57.1%) of the individuals who completed residency training from 2011 through 2020 are practicing in the state where they did their residency training. This retention rate is slightly higher than the rate for individuals who completed residency training from 2010 to 2019 (55.5%).”
What, in your opinion, are some of the reasons why residents choose to stay and practice in the state in which they were trained?
4) Contemplate the following statement from the readings: “A higher proportion of women who completed residency training from 2011 through 2020 are practicing in the state of their residency training — 60.5% — than men, at 54.2%.
What, in your opinion, are some of the reasons why more female residents than men choose to stay and practice in the state in which they were trained?
5) What organizations and specific initiatives or mechanisms have been integral to the development, expansion, and ongoing progression and support of family medicine residency training?
6) Based on the research provided, how do residency-sponsoring institutions project they would respond to reductions in Medicare support for Graduate Medical Education (GME), particularly detailing the different strategies anticipated by large versus small GME programs, and which types of residencies might be most at risk or protected?
