Resident participation in residency programs.

Abstract

Residents need to participate more fully in decisions involving their educational process and their learning/work setting. In the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Miami School of Medicine, residents are involved in designing their curriculum, monitoring their work/learning settings, selecting their peers, and evaluating their peers and faculty. This style of residency program has significant implications not only for patient care but also for future physicians, medical departments, and medical associations.
