Working with the group, and collaboratively with Family Medicine Education leaders across Canada, Dr Wycliffe-Jones helped develop a set of recommended improvements for Family Medicine postgraduate selection in 2020 and subsequently led the development and implementation of “FMProC” (Family Medicine Professional Choices), a new situational judgement test now used by 15 of the17 FM Residency programs to assess applicants’ non-academic attributes in the most recent selection cycle.

He shares the commonly held goals to; reduce the resource burden of selection for Family Medicine, to ensure this is done in a fair and transparent manner in a designed selection system based on best available evidence while, at the same time, ensuring the right applicants are selected who are most likely to deliver the family medicine care needed the most by Canadians.

Objectives

By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to;

• describe the background and drivers to the recent changes in Family Medicine residency selection in Canada.
• contrast the challenges specific to FM selection with those encountered in other specialities.
• define the recent changes made in Family Medicine residency selection.
• identify the lessons learned from the changes made in Family Medicine selection and consider how these might be applied in other disciplines.
• describe a number of potential further changes in Family Medicine selection.

Overview

Based on their experiences as Co-Chairs of the Family Medicine Selection Working Group, Dr’s Morros and Wycliffe-Jones describe their journey in the development, implementation, and evaluation of changes in Family Medicine residency selection in Canada. They will talk about the drivers for change, the national collaborative effort, the successes and challenges and the lessons learned so far. In addition, they will consider what the next steps are, or might be, in further improving the selection process for Family Medicine and whether, with the current Family Medicine crisis in Canada, the selection process itself might offer opportunities to help address this.
