Comparing commercial pharmacogenetic testing results and recommendations for antidepressants with established CPIC guidelines.

Introduction: Increasingly, pharmacogenetic testing helps providers with medication selection based upon patient-specific DNA results.

Pharmacogenetic testing companies often develop proprietary practices for interpreting and reporting, which can lead to incongruency of reported results among companies and potential discrepancies in interpretation.

Evaluating Changes in Family Medicine Applicant Characteristics Following the Onset of Virtual Interviewing.

Background And Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic obliged the field of graduate medical education to pivot from in-person to virtual residency interviews in 2020. The decreased travel and financial barriers of this format could potentially lead to greater diversity and equity in the primary care workforce. We aimed to evaluate changes in applicant pools from in-person to virtual interviewing cycles.

Nonclinical Time for Family Medicine Residency Faculty: National Survey Results.

Introduction: Recent changes to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirements eliminated minimum standards for protected nonclinical time for core faculty. Faculty perform many nonclinical tasks to maintain family medicine residencies. The objective of this study is to describe the landscape of nonclinical time for family medicine residency faculty.

Joint Guidelines for Protected Nonclinical Time for Faculty in Family Medicine Residency Programs.

Background And Objectives: Family medicine faculty face increasing expectations for clinical productivity.
