Hi - I am also one of the faculty and can say that our clinic epitomizes the concept of the PCMH to the fullest- everyone in our clinic works as a team and we all work collaboratively an to the top of our license. We also engage in population management of our patient panels

#askTUFMR Hi there- I'm faculty who heads our pain and addictions curriculum. You can find our. curriculum online and I can say it is quite robust combining lots of didactic learning with experiences! We run suboxone group visits and our faculty also engages in research!

#askTUFMR Yes-we are the epitome of a PCHM! We provide very structured team-based care and learn principles of improvement methodology along the way. We work in teams of front desk, RN, medical assistants, providers and also provide population level care to our patients :-)

Cool question! 2nd and 3rd year residents have a lot of elective time and use this in various ways- for example, many of our residents blog on medicine-base posts and assist faculty on publications, many of them with advocacy lenses. #askTUFMR

2 of our senior residents this year are going to the Robert Graham Center to learn advocacy skills and are encouraged to publish the topic they are passionate about and advocating for :-) Our program offer a signficant amount of elective time to do stuff like this! #askTUFMR

Yes! I love research too (I'm one of the core faculty!). Our FM program has rich opportunities for research and we have several community partners (Insitute for Community Health and Harvard's catalyst program) that helps provide support for research interests. #askTUFMR

Me too! I did my masters teaching fellowship here, and having that fellowship "percolates" the entire program with a rich medical education philosophy! We also have Tufts medical students rotating through clinic and the hospital- lots of opportunities to practice:-) #askTUFMR

We even have a "resident as teacher" curriculum built into the residents' didactics! :-). #askTUFMR

Our program prides itself on leadership development with formalized curriculum modeled from Institute for Community Health; our faculty are trained in this too! Residents practice this while leading team meetings and are part of working groups to improve our program. #askTUFMR

We are always growing our program; every 6 months we re-evaluate our "aims" as a program and develop working groups to accomplish the aims that align with our values around health equity, integrity, cultivating meaningful relationships, providing evidence-based medicine #askTUFMR

Of course- residents get a formalized curriculum that includes principles of improvement methodology that focuses on IHI principles on how to create and sustain change (see IHI 3 questions), run meetings, work in teams, measure and track changes through PDSA cycling :-) #askTUFMR

Yes, as a faculty member, I can say we wholeheartedly intentionally work to support our residents. All residents get partnered with a faculty adviser they meet with quarterly, get individual coaching and mentoring with our behaviorist, there is intern support group! #askTUFMR

As a faculty member, I can wholheartedly say our faculty go above and beyond to support residents- each resident gets partnered with a faculty adviser they meet with quarterly, get individualized coaching and mentoring with a behaviorist, there is intern support group! #askTUFMR

For sure! Check out our website- it has our addiction curriculum. We have a robust curriculum that I help run, providing lots of learning: both didactics and experiences. Our residents even get to run our Suboxone groups! We are also engage in addiction research :-) #askTUFMR

Yes yes, we truly walk the walk! Residents get a longitudinal curriculum taught by both behavior an primary care faculty. Our behavioral health faculty are IN are clinic and we do warm handoffs with them They are a key part of our clinic and resident training :-) #askTUFMR

GREAT- thanks for joining us Jesse! #askTUFMR

Yes, we have TONS of languages- Malden is quite the diverse population. Our most common: Portuguese, Haitian-Creole, Spanish, Vietnamese. I'm usually using an interpreter phone about every third visit when I'm in clinic. It feels like a truly diverse culture here :-) #askTUFMR
