1 Family Medicine Residency Program Directors Plans to Incorporate Maintenance of Certification Into Residency Training: A CERA Survey Lars E. Peterson, MD, PhD; Brenna Blackburn, MPH; Robert L. Phillips Jr, MD, MSPH; Arch G. Mainous III, PhD BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Participation in Maintenance of Certification for Family Physicians (MC-FP) is now a requirement for residents to take the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) certification examination. The objective of this study was to determine baseline use of MC-FP products prior to this requirement and assess how family medicine residency program directors (FMPD) intended to integrate MC-FP into residency education. METHODS: We used the CERA platform to survey FMPDs. In addition to the core CERA demographic questions, we asked about the use of MC-FP in residency, how FMPDs intended to incorporate MC-FP, and how useful they believe MC-FP will be for resident evaluation. Additionally, we compared select results with the ABFM administrative database. RESULTS: A total of 224 FMPDs responded, for a 50.6% response rate. There was agreement between CERA and ABFM data on the percentage of residencies already using Part 4 modules (39.3% versus 38.8%) but not Part 2 modules (24.7% versus 62.8%). Group MC-FP activities were the preferred method for both Part 2 (45.0%) and Part 4 (54.4%). Most FMPDs agreed that MC-FP will be effective in teaching quality improvement and assessing competencies. Respondents from dually accredited programs were more likely to have used Part 4, but not Part 2, activities prior to CONCLUSIONS: Prior to MC-FP becoming a requirement in residency, a sizeable minority of residencies were already using these tools for education. Assessment of competencies will be crucial in the Next Accreditation System, and MC-FP may help in tracking clinical development over a physician s career. (Fam Med 2014;46(4): ) As of July 2012, all residents entering Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited family medicine residencies are required to participate in Maintenance of Certification for Family Physicians (MC- FP) to sit for the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) certification examination. 1 Residents will have to finish two Part 2 activities, which are done through completion of disease or population focused Self- Assessment Modules (SAMs) and one Part 4 activity, which involves a quality improvement (QI) project. Part 2 and 4 products have always been available free of charge to residents. Since requiring MC-FP in residency has just started, our objectives were to examine the baseline use of MC-FP products in residency training and to understand how family medicine program directors (FMPDs) plan to implement MC-FP. Methods Our study was part of the Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) omnibus FMPD survey administered in spring CERA survey methodology has been previously described. 2 In addition to core demographic questions, we asked if the program was dually accredited by the ACGME and the American Osteopathic Association. We hypothesized that dually accredited programs may be less likely to use MC-FP products since their osteopathic residents may not take the ABFM boards. 3 The remaining questions asked about incorporating MC-FP in residency, including whether the FMPD previously included SAMs and/or Part From the American Board of Family Medicine, Lexington, KY (Dr Peterson, Ms Blackburn, Dr Phillips); and Department of Family Medicine, University of Florida (Dr Mainous).

2 4 modules in residency education; if they hadn t, why not; and how they plan to incorporate MC-FP. We also assessed FMPDs opinions regarding how effective MC-FP in residency will be as an educational tool. We used the ABFM administrative database to compare results reported by respondents to actual use of MC-FP products by residents. We identified all family medicine residency graduates from 2010 to 2012 and determined if they participated in a Part 2 or Part 4 activity and aggregated the results by residency program. Because the CERA data are de-identified, we could not directly compare FMPDs answers to the ABFM database. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the data. We used chisquare tests to assess for differences in planned implementation of MC- FP by dual accreditation status. The CERA survey was approved by the American Academy of Family Physicians Institutional Review Board. Results The survey was sent to 440 FMPDs and 224 responded, yielding a 50.9% response rate. The lowest number of responses to a specific question was 219. Respondents were mostly located in the Midwest (31.1%) and were community based, university affiliated (65.2%) (Table 1). Twentyseven percent of residencies were dually accredited. From the ABFM database we identified 449 unique residency programs. Nearly a quarter of respondents reported that they already used SAMs (24.7%) as part of their residency education (Table 2). In contrast, ABFM data revealed that 62.8% of residencies had at least one resident use a SAM.

4 residency programs having any resident report a Part 4 module in the ABFM database was nearly identical to that reported by CERA respondents (38.8% versus 39.3%). Common reasons for not using MC-FP products before 2012 were difficulty in setting up group SAMs (23.2%) and not enough added value to resident education (20.7%). Most respondents already have strategies for how to implement MC-FP into their program (Table 3) with group SAMs (45.0%) and Part 4 activities (54%) being common responses. Slightly over half of respondents disagreed that MC- FP in residency will decrease other scholarly activity by residents (Table 4). Nearly 60% agreed that MC- FP will be effective for teaching QI or resident education. Respondents from dually accredited programs were more likely to have used Part 4 products before 2012 (51.7% versus 35.2%) but were similar to respondents from other programs in their opinions of and plans to incorporate MC-FP (Table 5). Discussion Our survey of FMPDs found that a minority were using MC-FP products prior to them being required for certification. We found that the intended strategies for implementing MC-FP into residency education were varied and that many respondents believe MC-FP tools will be effective in evaluating resident competency and in teaching QI. There are multiple ways in which residencies may incorporate Part 2 and Part 4 activities into residency education. Group Part 4 and Part 2 activities were popular choices of respondents, but many also intend to allow residents to choose what to do. We hypothesized that respondents from dually accredited programs would be less likely to use MC-FP tools in their programs, which no prior literature has studied. Given that prior research found that many osteopathic residents in dually accredited program do not take the ABFM examination, 3 we surprisingly found that respondents from dually accredited programs were more likely to have used Part 4 products and were as likely as other programs to use Part 2 products. The 60 responding dually accredited programs represent a majority of the 102 programs identified in prior research, 3 which supports the generalizability of these results. Based on the ABFM database, we found that nearly three times as many programs had residents participating in SAMs than respondents reported. This difference is most likely due to residents learning about this resource in other ways. Our study is not without limitations. First, although our response rate of 51% is reasonably positive in a survey of physicians, there is a possibility that there could be some differences in the experience of nonrespondents. Next, other unmeasured variables may be associated with intentions to use MC-FP products, including QI infrastructure, number of faculty, ability to provide clinical coverage for most residents to participate in group activities, and faculty motivation. Our survey of FMPDs found that a minority were using MC-FP products as a part of residency education prior to it becoming a requirement. Most believe that MC-FP will be an effective educational tool and specifically better teach QI principles. A sizable minority believe MC-FP products will help assess and evaluate residents competency, which will be an integral aspect of the Next Accreditation System. 4 Whether MC-FP products actually improve education and assessment of residents will need further study.
