Multicenter Study
Exploring systems-based practice in a sample of physical medicine and rehabilitation residency programs.
This study explores physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) residents' attitudes, knowledge, and perception of health care policy in the context of systems-based practice, one of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's core competencies for residency training. ⋯ Systems-based practice is a core requirement of residency training yet has not been extensively studied. This study suggests that residents find systems-based issues important to their overall education but are not sufficiently or effectively addressed in residency. The healthcare delivery environment including PM&R is rapidly changing. It is imperative that residents are equipped with the knowledge of and ability to adapt to these changes.
