Patients at RiskIs this the end of the full-spectrum Family Physician? Discussing proposed ACGME changes to Family Medicine residency trainingAs our listeners already know by now, to be licensed to practice medicine, physicians in most states must complete a minimum of three years of postgraduate medical education, called residency training.

If programs fail to meet these criteria, they will not be credentialed by the ACGME, and graduates will not be licensed to practice medicine. Recently, the ACGME announced revisions to residency training for Family Physicians, and I’m privileged to be joine...
