Expectations of the Competencies of Entering Family Medicine Residents: Do Members of the Family Agree? A CERA Study.

Background And Objectives: Little information is available on what competencies family medicine program directors expect of incoming residents and whether those incoming residents can deliver on such expectations. Our aim was to determine whether there is a common set of skills that both family medicine clerkship directors and program directors agree are important for entering residents to possess and how often these are being demonstrated.

Methods: This study is an analysis of data obtained in the 2014 CERA Family Medicine Clerkship Director and Program Director surveys.
